When you ask your Oak Framer about what oak they’re using, they may come back and say we all use the same type of oak (Quercus robur).⁠ ⁠ This is basically a true statement. ⁠ ⁠ The question you should be asking is what grade has the structural engineer specified for your building, to your specifications, on your site?⁠ ⁠ This should always take into consideration elevation, orientation, and wind loadings.⁠ ⁠ It should come with reassurance that the grades purchased are that specification.⁠ ⁠ They should also be able to confirm that they have qualified timber graders involved in the manufacturing process, to guarantee that the correct standards have been met.⁠ ⁠ Everything you need to know to make sure you're getting the right oak grade https://lnkd.in/eXzYrDBM #TimberFrame #Oak #BuildingSupplies #SussexBusiness #PropertyDevelopment

Murram Compaction Once the foundational walls are completed, murram soil is placed in the foundation spaces in layers of approximately 300mm thick. Each layer is evenly spread, watered to ensure the right moisture content, and then compacted using a mechanical compactor. This layering and compaction process is repeated until the required height is reached, ensuring the foundation bed is solid and well-prepared for the slab or floor construction. Proper compaction prevents future settlement or shifting, ensuring the long-term stability of the structure.

9.15.4.6. Extension above Ground Level This Article sets the minimum extension of foundation walls above ground level. The extension of a foundation above ground level is intended to avoid the entry of #rainwater run-off and #snow-melt over the top edge of the wall, and to protect water-sensitive materials supported on the foundation from prolonged wetting. Foundation walls must extend a minimum of 150 mm (6 in.) above the #ground. If a #cladding is used that is adversely affected by #moisture, such as #wood or wood-based #siding, #clearance between the finished ground level and the bottom of the #cladding must be a minimum of 200 mm (8 in.) (NBC Article 9.27.2.4.). This also applies to #stucco over wood-frame construction (NBC Article 9.28.1.4.). These conditions are illustrated in Figure 9.15.-15.
