Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Dec 12, 2012 4:42 am Hi guys, I'm trying to learn to do material take off for external & internal wall frames. I came across this site http://www.blocklayer.com/Wall-Framing.aspx Can someone explain what are Corners, Ends and Spaces on a floor plan? Thanks Re: Framing material takeoff 2Dec 14, 2012 11:20 am Corner is where 2 walls run at right angles to each other. this usually requires an additional stud and plaster angle end is simply the end of a wall. requires an additional stud (even when it butts up to another wall) An opening requires an additional studd on either side to hold the lintel above it. Not sure what the mean by a space. This is not an Australian site so the terminology is a bit different. the only thing i can think of is that perhaps it is referring to an internal void (such as a Return Air for ducted heating or a fridge space or WIR area) "I never learned a thing until I finished school" - Unknown "You can get anything accomplished, If you don't mind who gets the credit" - Ned Hay Re: Framing material takeoff 3Dec 14, 2012 1:11 pm Despite the .com at the end I think it is an Australian site kid81.

It has some excellent calculators and info for tradies and non-tradies alike.

They might as well be international from us here on the East Coast!!!

Stewie ( semi-retired builder ) STEFF62 Framing should be fine, but he will only be able to nail the baseplates in, I wouldnt think you can dynabolt them after 24 hours. My question is, how is he… 1 5848 8 9896 Houses have been framed on floor joists since settlement, chipboard flooring is only around for 50 years or so, so why would it not be satisfactory?
