Having a big builder build our house. Rained heavily during framing, now lots of mud on lumber and wood. Builder says ok since now its dry.

Should I be concerned?

Without seeing the wood, this kind of thing happens a lot more than people know. The moisture is more of a big deal than the mud, and as long as the wood dries thoroughly without twisting or warping then it will be fine.

It is very good that you notice things and question the builder about anything that concerns you. Keep good notes of your conversations with him, with dates and times, just in case something does come up later.

Congratulations on your new home. If they are just now framing then you have just started on what will be a long, tedious, and stressful process. The more involvement you have with every step along the way the happier you'll be with the end result.

Best of luck!

This happens a lot during construction. AS long as the lumber is dry before they close up the interior you should be fine. If the wood is still wet when they close up the walls you will get some mold.

I agree, it's not a big deal as long as it dries before they enclose it. After all the wood is extremely moist when it is cut. Getting wet once or twice isn't a big deal. It's when it's continually subjected to moist/dry cycles that rot becomes an issue. Even continually submerged in water isn't an issue (even for non-treated lumber), it's the getting wet and drying (many times) that is the issue.

the wood is dry and the mud has been scraped off so I guess its ok.
