an explanation on framing for assessment
I've framed up so many walls in my life I found it humorous my employer said he did not know if I could do it cos I've done loads for him as well. At the job I'm doing now I physically marked out all the internal walls, Nathan was assisting me but got side tracked so I did it. I used an off set off the grid line and the plans to find correct line... And then I used a lazer to shoot a line and mark it before ramsetting down a bottom plate. From there I cut a top plate and would mark the bottom and top plates together at 600 centres the easiest way to do this is 622 and back with the x I used to go 577 and away but it confused everyone so now I do it their way. Then I would fix the top plate this is not always doable but in this case we could fix the top plate straight to steel purlins with Wurth screws.... The building has a false ceing Because we have already marked studs... We can measure and cut now..... Not without considering any doors or windows which would need to be set out. Once studs are in and true and fixed we can mark each side of wall and ping a chalk line for nogs.... At 800 usually but sometimes different will depend on purpose of wall and engineers or architects drawings. Once nogs are in and secured it is time for any hardware handi bracs at 900 centres on bottom plate are pretty standard and depending on uplofe on external wall you could have additional hardware cpc 80s are coomon in corners and obviously joist hangers for floors. For pre made walls the principle is the same.... Need a loft plan and thought must be given to temporary bracing.
