First Floor Install, Time in Build?


Recommended Posts

Lining up our masonry wall construction and an off-hand comment from the brickie got me questioning - at what point in the build process would timber first floor (web joists and decking etc.) normally be put in?  I had (perhaps wrongly!) assumed it would be after the build was weathertight, but suggestion was there could be some benefit in whilst the walls are going up so it can be a working platform.

Definitely 

Get up to chamber and get your joists in and floors 

And the Brickies will build the inside off the deck

If your using cabba or Egger floor boards 

Most have a peel off shield to protect till watertight

Build the in as you go, Tony Tray round the ends for air tightness and then install the deck for them to work off. Use Peel ply or any of the Egger/Caber products and they can be out in all weather  for 6-8 weeks.

Slightly off topic 

There’s a plot that we looked ate and the two older Brickies are building it hand over arm No scaffolding at all 

Takes me back to the 80s
