Re: Are these gaps- between the frame & slab) reasonable?Building A New House

Oct 15, 2019 8:48 pm

Framers would be reluctant to change set out measurements to suit the slab because it will cause problems with setout of roof framing or trusses. Cutting back slab is not an option because more than likely reinforcing steel will become exposed. Sensible option would be to build out wall but then it...

The best is adjust the frame to the slab. Blackbeauty, what happened in the end here? Which builder was this?

Re: Steel frames - Coral homesBuilding A New House

Oct 04, 2019 8:32 am

Mrs, out of curiosity, have you compared the sound with other steel framed homes? I mean, has anyone on this forum built with a steel frame that can provide their opinion about this? If so, what did they say about the noise in their home? It’s not steel frames, it’s floor joists. Most double story ...

I am horrified at the noisy floors that were posted on instgram by sapphire5727. I would like to know if this was rectified in the end, and I would also like to know if the owner raised the ongoing disputes with Fair Trading NSW, and did they help? Thermal breaks in steel framed homes I am building ...

I found this technical paper published by the Department of Environment and Energy (February 2019) on the topic ...

For brick veneer, I would strongly suggest min. 250mm total external wall thickness, to allow for 90mm studs, decent air gap to bricks....say around 50-60mm, plus the bricks obviously. Darb74, this advice it very specific, which is exactly what I was hoping to find on here. Thanks. I am wondering i...
