Building framing system

A building framing system, comprising:

• a plurality of first components, each of the first components defining a first connection geometry;
• a plurality of second components, each of the second components defining a second connection geometry;
• a plurality of third components, each of the third components defining a third connection geometry;
• and
• a plurality of tie components,
• wherein each tie component is positioned within a notch defined in each first component and a notch defined in each second component,
• wherein each tie component is fastened together such that each tie component encircles at least one of the first component or the second component to hold the first component and the second component in place with respect to one another during assembly of the building framing system,
• wherein the first connection geometry joins with the second connection geometry to connect one of the first components with one of the second components that is adjacent the first component such that mechanical fasteners are not required to attach a first component to an adjacent second component,
• wherein each first component is oriented perpendicular to each second component,
• wherein each of the first components further defines a fourth connection geometry, the fourth connection geometry joining with the third connection geometry to connect one of the first components with one of the third components that is adjacent the first component such that mechanical fasteners are not required to attach a first component to an adjacent third component, and
• wherein each first component is oriented perpendicular to each third component.
