Concreter laid slab for me to build frame on. Council signed off. Slab is oversize by 30mm each side of planned frame. Do I build frame slightly larger to get it closer to the edge or do I build to the plan size and accept 30mm spacing before drop to brick ledge? Any advice please? 09 Nov 2014 3 VIC New Poster Re: Frame construction on concrete slab for 4x5m BV shed 2Nov 16, 2014 12:28 pm No advice? must be silly question? I am off to hardware to see if a tradie can let me know what they do in this circumstance. I assume that as the gap between brick face and inside of stud wall is normally 240mm to 250mm that I have no choice but to square up the stud frame roughly aligned with the edge of the slab even though its bigger than the approved plan. 09 Nov 2014 3 VIC New Poster Re: Frame construction on concrete slab for 4x5m BV shed 4Dec 29, 2014 5:54 pm If anyone interested, the building inspector recommended building out to the edge of the slab.

So two positives so far. 15 mm or 9/16 of an inch (approx) will be virtually undetectable as far as framing is concerned and will able to be compensated for at framing stage. not a problem , go for it Design from top down to ground , build from ground up When I worked on leveling my shed, I found that using adjustable base plates or shims was a pretty effective way to stabilize it.
