Hi everyone, Sorry for the absence for a while - due to work, family and other commitments - and thanks very much for all the comments and views. I think this discussion has raised a few very interesting issues - such as what is defined as acceptable industry practice, and how far can we take innova...

×StructuralBIMGuBTW you could have put them in yourself for $100 Yes, dad and I talked about this and with the right tools and some timber we could have done in a couple of hours... But, we sucked it up and stayed off site.

hi everyone, just a bit of closure on this and also for future reference if anyone is faced with a similar situation. So, after all the advice provided here, we contacted the frame manufacturer and were told that the frames are compliant (of course they'd say that). Apparently as there are two metal...

Thanks again for everyone's advice and tips. I have gone to the house today to note all the walls without noggings. Out of about 50 wall space, there were only 14 that had any form of nogging (some below windows at approx. 1000mm height and others at approx. 1350mm height). Given that this has kept ...

@newbie2017 ask the builder for the framing details and then have them check by an independent Structural engineer I am seeing way too many alternate solutions appearing on building sites lately. You should at least have it explained to you and be given a choice Thanks for the advice StructuralBIMG...

Nogging should go in as the frame is being done and be part of the completed frame before anything else happens. If brickwork is going on Id query why the nogging is not in.. Hi qebtel I have asked the builder and he says this is a new thing to be "greener" ie no timber noggings just meta...

lol relax, its just temporary, the nogging will come. Thanks qebtel! Phew... That makes us feel a lot better! :) Do you know when the noggings would be put in normally? Our brickwork and upstairs cladding are almost all done now but still no obvious signs of noggings. Do the chippies normally only ...

Frames without timber noggings?Building Standards; Getting It Right!

Hey everyone, We are currently building our first home and have recently reached the frame stage (finally!). But we have noticed that our frames don't appear to have horizontal timber bars (noggings?) in between the studs. Instead there are these thin, flimsy looking metal 'braces' attached to the f...
