You can come up with all sorts of variations on installation methods that will affect the final result. I take your point though. I'll be doing all the framing, insulation, bricklaying etc so I intend to do a bit better job than the average trade. As for the studs, we are probably going with 90mm for both ground and first floor. As for aligning them ? Huh? There are floor joists and sheet flooring sitting on the top plate of the ground floor, then the bottom plate of the first floor sits on that. Pretty standard construction methodology. As for the poly sheets, we have been looking at a few varieties and haven't made up our minds yet. I saw one of your other posts pointing out the problems you mention above so we will be weighing up the pros and cons. Thanks for the info though.

Stewie Re aligning, will be hard to align 140 mm studs on top of 90 mm due to 50 mm overhang from the either side. Instead of going 140 mm can also consider using double studs/staggered studs with standard insulation, they can also provide much better soundproofing to your walls.

I can post a drawing if you like.

Stewie As long as your structural engineer will be happy with the fact that around 1/3 of your top level studs are not really load bearing while other 2/3 is 2 8320 can’t tell from the photo, a tie down rod will be 12mm, is it a steel beam? he should be able to work it out 1 4444 5 10459 |
