4.0 Before wall construction begins

6.0 Wall Construction

• Preliminary check requirements: Prior to construction check that the structure that the frames are to be installed on matches drawings and are within required tolerances. Slabs should be dimensionally accurate, level, and straight. 
• Review the layout drawings to understand which panels go where and review overall dimensions before work commences
• Explanation of print strings:-
  • Print strings on the flange indicate the 'front' face of the panel. This 'front' of the panel is shown by the arrow on the layout drawings
  • Print string marks indicate the wall panel number as well as the length of each of the parts. The length of top and bottom plates are marked on them which indicates the overall length of the panels, while stud lengths indicate the height of the wall panels plus 4mm
  • All external wall panels have "EXT" marked on them, and the print string faces to the outside of the building. If one is not pre-attached to the frames, a damp proof course shall be installed under all walls marked "EXT"
• Wall panel orientation can be determined by ensuring that bottom plates marked with "BP" are at the bottom and plates with "TP" are at the top. Marks on the flanges of studs should face towards arrows on the layout drawings. The panel direction can also be obvious as there are a pair of service holes at the bottom of a wall and one at the top.
• Layout walls: Move wall panels to approximate location on site
• Start with panels in the corner and put 2 screws at each of the top and bottom to connect panels together
• Temporary brace any panels that are not near wall junctions

Site personnel wearing:-

• Safety glasses
• Safety boots
• High visibility clothing
• Gloves
• Hard hat?

Video footage taken of the following:-

• Standing wall panels showing a variety of wall panels being joined together, eg.

  • external walls at 90 degrees,
  • internal walls at 90 degrees to external walls
• Connecting internal non-load bearing walls to external load bearing walls at top of frame with 2 x 12-14x20 hex head screws
• Screws connecting at top of wall panels, mid-point of wall panels and bottom of wall panels. 2 x 12-14x20 hex head screws should be at each location

• Manual lifting roof trusses onto the roof showing truss chords facing down

Go through the risks of working at height and what the safe work method needs to look like

Need to discuss with Lewis Homes how they would do this in a safe manner - what will be shown in the video around working at heights safely?

Ask Lewis Homes the following:-

• If they ever splice trusses together on site. If so, add to footage
• Do they install verges? If so, what types?
