Timber frame wall coming 3Feb 05, 2020 8:22 am Pombearinoz Thank you if you made it this far.... my question is can I structurally do this. Two walls brick with east and south walls being timber..... and if I can do it, is it worth it? Words only take you so far when renovating/building , sketches,details, calculations, data, compliance checks etc fill in the gaps As some one who does structural repairs I do advocate getting proper illustrative certified drawings...they are cheaper than having to do structural repairs further down the track Heres an eg of what I recommend and do...it's self explanitory Alfresco Conversion BTW all WA project homes are built this way For Brick walls you'll require T- bar lintels,steel rods and columns etc I am seeing far too many stacker door problems onsite to mention.. LOL never mind/m̶i̶n̶e̶ ..you judge Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: New member .... Help welcome. Timber frame wall coming 4Feb 07, 2020 9:07 pm Thank you for your replies. Muppet question .... how do I attach documents to my post 😬 We do have a surveyor coming on 14 to complete drawings StructuralBIMGuy, can only hope his drawings are as good as your example. Had real issues getting anyone out .... stacker doors do worry me a tad, perhaps we should go for sliding or French doors .... Will put a plan up once I work out how 😀 Re: New member ....

Timber frame wall coming 5Feb 07, 2020 9:23 pm Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This photo shows the garage (9.2 metres) which is coming down - dirty grey long rectangle to the left of the picture in front of the green/white roof. The new garage will run along the length of the side of the extension only (6.2 metres) - which is the shiny zinc roof. This will free up the garden as no garage! The two shiny zinc roofs are the currently two separate rooms that will become one room. The pool stays and will be squared off. the green and white roof is a patio - this will come down. We want to square off swimming pool area (which would mean widening the concrete pool surround)and make garden useful - no real concept of how yet!! Hopefully starting to make more sense with the picture .... and thank you fo ryour interest and help Re: New member .... Help welcome. Timber frame wall coming 7Feb 08, 2020 8:24 am Hey PBIO Thanks for the info..there are 4 progressive Stages Client Apps/Sketch-> Project Verification Stage/preliminary Design ->Planning/Development Application (DA)->Building Application (BA) Sounds like you're at the Preliminary Stage? This Involves Rough Sketch/3D Model, broad based Quants/Data,etc here Preliminary Design, Quants and costs Land Surveyors are generally engaged at DA while Building Surveyors at BA Basically the more you can do/sort out with the app the more you can save Don't spend too much on the preliminary models with consultants... just in case it doesn't proceed Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs This is 100% true.
