Pg. 29:
Aluminum or Vinyl Lap Siding:
4-5-10: Observation: Aluminum or vinyl siding is bowed or wavy.
Performance Guideline: Some waviness in aluminum or vinyl lap siding is to be expected because of bows in studs. Waves or similar distortions in aluminum or vinyl lap siding are considered excessive if they exceed 1/2" in 32".
Corrective Measure: The contractor will correct any waves or distortions to comply with the performance guideline by reinstalling or replacing siding as necessary.

Hi,
Thanks. Actually, I see I didn't make myself clear. This is not a siding issue, it's a framing issue that's telegraphing through the siding. I'm actually looking for the wall plane/stud alignment standard if anyone has it.

I hope this is what you need, but it's all relative to inside surfaces - not outside?
Page 19:
Wall Framing:
4-1-1: Observation: A framed wall is not plumb.
Performance Guideline: The interior face of wood-framed walls shall not be more than 3/8 inch out of plumb for any 32 inches in any vertical measurement. (A remodeling specific note follows which I assume doesn't apply)
Corrective action: The contractor will repair the wall to meet the performance guideline.
4-1-2: Observation: The wall is bowed.
Performance Guideline: Walls shall not bow more than 1/2 inch out of line within any 32-inch horizontal measurement, or 1/2-inch out of line within any 8-foot vertical measurement. (A remodeling specific note again follows, which I assume does not apply.)
Corrective Measure: The contractor will repair the wall to meet the performance guideline.

And that's perfect example of why the NAHB Residential Construction Performance Guidelines are a self-serving travesty.

Doesn't the AF & PA Wood Frame Construction Manual for One and Two Family Dwellings have something on it? Anyone have a copy?

I know up here in Canada - for EIFS - the substrate requirement is L/240.
