Hi,
I have a block that I am planning on building on soon to both side boundaries, which both have other houses constructed that were also built boundary to boundary.
I'm thinking of using steel stud framing, and exploring ways the boundary walls can be constructed. The house is 3 stories high, and the ground floor along with bits of the second story will be flush against the neighbours house.
So far - the only method I can imagine the builder using will be constructing these parapet walls flat on the pad, then crane or manually tilt them up already waterproofed and finished one floor at a time?
I imagine this same problem exists also for wood framed houses parapet to parapet.
Anyone have any ideas how they accomplish this with a steel / wood framed structure?

We are looking at concrete panels for our build, probably off-site prefab rather than tilt - mainly for the same access/finish reasons (up against a neighbour).

I was also going down that route, found a nice cladding to go onto the concrete, only to discover it doesn't meet boundary to boundary wall fire code, or 3 story wind. Metal looking a lot easier as I can see a lot of it I will be able to DIY... just need to figure out the boundary wall. 13 May 2024 3 New Poster Re: Building a boundary house - up against neighbours house 4May 13, 2024 6:42 pm Good on you for having a go I am the opposite of DIY (so will pay a builder) - our vibe is industrial/simple so current thinking is 150mm concrete and then internally is steel stud, insulation and then gyprock. We are open to alternates but this seems best bang for buck according to Arch/Eng 6 6816 The only thing to add to these comments is that where possible it's always good to try and work with people than just say "no" because you can.
