Build Sequence


Recommended Posts

Quick question, all of the TF builds that I can recall looking at on here have the roof tiles before moving onto the outer skin. Does this sequence have to be followed (or advised to follow)?

 

Reason I ask - think I've lost my roofer, comms have gone silent (I've covered my woes elsewhere regarding concreter, seems the roofer is playing the same game now?‍♂️).

 

Is there a sound reason as to why I shouldn't get the brickie in to chuck up the blockwork whilst I try to line up a new roofer? I have someone in mind but they are likely booked up for a while now and I am loath to pay for scaffolding to be sat there not getting used.

Getting the roof on gets it watertight sooner. Just do it in the order you have trades available.  At least get a decent roof felt on to keep most of the rain out.

With it being SIP, the roof should be watertight once they have finished and the breather membrane put on.  I dont want leave it exposed to 'test' this any longer than necessary but it is what it is?‍♂️

 

I have read talk of 'loading' out the roof to settle the structure but is this really a thing? A few ton of tiles over say 250m2 roof surface isn't actually a great amount to 'settle' the structure?

 

As you say, do it the order you have traded available may be the way forward so I can keep things progressing!
