Re: Frame overhang 24Jul 18, 2014 3:44 pm insider emjay68 The ground should be graded away from the slab preferrably into a agi drain.If they had used temporary down pipes that would have helped greatly. This is just not acceptable for a registered builder, as I said before there should be on the spot suspension and fine, don't bother ringing anyone from the government they have a Siesta, digesting a big lunch that you shouted.

Please follow this up. Re: Frame overhang 26Jul 18, 2014 7:43 pm Termite protection could be of the kind you don't see Termimesh or the kind applied just before handover (perimeter termicide spray), yes make sure it's professionally checked.

Please follow this up. Hi wood bang, I had termimesh installed before the slab was poured. And as building-expert says, it is the kind that you don't see. Re: Frame overhang 29Jul 29, 2014 1:29 am Isn't the DPC meant to be tucked up between the bricks and the slab? Re: Frame overhang 31Sep 10, 2014 9:50 pm Building the Dream emjay, what ended up happening with the frame overhang? +1. I'd be interested to hear what happens as we have the same problem. Re: Frame overhang 32Nov 22, 2014 8:35 pm My frame is nearly complete and I have only 2 areas where my frame is overhanging my slab. House to garage wall - approx 20mm. External bed wall - approx 30mm Now I've been trying to find the exact clause in both the BCA and AS standards for max 10mm overhang, but I can't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction as I don't believe in motherhood statements and would like to give my builder factual evidence. Thanks Re: Frame overhang 33Nov 23, 2014 8:42 pm 2 thirds supported is the general acceptance. I don't believe that there is anything that directly says how "bad" something can be, but I think it will fall into the 1684 interpretation (not the BCA) where it talks about supporting members. If I get bored I'll have a flick through it. As for brick overhang, yes the max is stated, but there is every chance that the footing is the right width, just the rebate is out. The builder could also reduce the cavity. I think the Cavity can go down to 20mm from memory, and they probably had originally worked on 50mm or so. Frame overhang doesn't necessarily mean the same amount of brick overhang Re: Frame overhang 34Nov 23, 2014 11:17 pm Crazyk My frame is nearly complete and I have only 2 areas where my frame is overhanging my slab.

The figure of 10mm is in the Victorian Guide to Standards and Tolerances. Re: Frame overhang 37Jan 27, 2022 8:08 am Crazyk Update my builder dynabolted a treated pine timber under the frame. All good now. To me it looks like they put the timber formwork out by 1 plank thickness Hi Crazyk, Not sure if you are still active in this forum but I might ask anyway. I am in a similar situation currently with overhanging frames and my builder put timber with dynabolts (45cm apart) to support the overhang. Wanted to see if everything is ok with your house since you have had the same solution applied? In the end, two pieces of treated timber (20mm thick) were bolted onto the joists and planed when there was too much sticking out. Passed inspection. 13 8025 This is the best I have, as it is plastered internally now. I should add there is a steel post in the corner of the room between the window and the glass sliding door,… 3 843 Thanks Ardo, they are sort of semi concealed. I think it is only a few millimetres. I see if they can adjust the hinges. 4 4070 |
