Some 40sq houses could have none, some could have dozens of beams and columns depending on the design. So, the question of if the price is reasonable is completely dependent on how many beams columns etc have been designed and NOT simply on the size of the house. Now this makes sense! We had a LOT of beams so it now makes sense why it cost so much. Thanks for that Assuming you've modelled the TB8, TB10, TB12, TB2 & J1 joists/LVLs there, it appears as per drawing to me. There maybe should be an additional J1 between TB10 and T12 if… 3 31816 That sucks! Hope it all works out. Good to move away from steel anyway for all your reasons, but it's also thermally poor. 16 17857 Hi I am wanting some opinions about the build of a steel shed I am going to get one about 4.5 x 2.5 m steel shed and the height will be about 2.3-2.4m high The one I am… 0 14442 |
