The correct paperwork must be submitted, whether it be an engineers report or referral to As1684. Now what you didn't mention was were the stud centers different? or was the timber a different size. Either way evidence to show that the design complies with as1684 is what you will need. Hi Ardo, I am not from construction background. No idea what you mean by different stud centers. I probably can check the timber size. Is checking the span tables something that I can do? What do you mean by referral to AS1684? Is it same as the span tables? Re: F5 instead of MGP10 11Nov 01, 2021 4:36 pm As1684 is the residential standard for framed construction. It has information about the sizes and grades of timber that can be used and in what application. Studs are the main construction of the timber in walls. They support the load from the top plate to the bottom plate. Typical materials are f7 or mgp10 90mm x 35mm in size. The 'centers' are the distance between the centers of the studs or even the pitch if that makes better sense. Re: F5 instead of MGP10 12Nov 01, 2021 4:38 pm Lots of videos on YouTube about frames.
