Re: Frame standards? 11Nov 04, 2008 2:40 pm I don't know anything about NBG except there prices are quite cheap. The plans will tell you about timber sizes and stud spacing etc. A&L Windows are good quality so don't worry about that. Knots in pine is common but MGP10 or 12 is a lot better than the standard F5. I wouldn't be too concerned about some short noggins that have been packed as this would usually be at a corner to make the external corner straight. Re: Frame standards? 12Nov 04, 2008 10:01 pm Thanks kindly for the info.

Re: Frame standards? 13Apr 18, 2010 9:09 am I needed a copy of the structural engineering for the frame and bracing so Alex the building surveyor can do his inspection. I was told by Carlisle unless its a double storey engineers no longer do a structural report or plan for frames. Instead all frames for single storey are built according to section 16 84 of the building code Does anyone know anything about this ? or have a copy of the section 1684 re frame & standards. Subsequently I found out the Truss and frame manufacturer is the source that can provide me with this info. If I dont get this info prior to the inspection ,Iam wondering if its a worthwhile getting one because how will he know where the bracing is supposed to go etc? each house is different.
