Big Neil Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Lots of variables I know, but what did people here pay for theirs and what was the spec (centres, shord width, joist depth etc?
ToughButterCup Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 £1800. Three different specs. and this is what you can do to correct builders' errors ( that is building by eye, rather than with a line and level ) Steve at Cheshire Roof Trusses helped me through that particular trauma. Be sure to specify exactly how the joist is attached to the wall plate, and measure the width at each and every joist station along the wall. Ian
Big Neil Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 Was the moggy there to check for line and level. "that's purrrrfect Ian - Nail it down!" What was your total floor area covered by that?
recoveringbuilder Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Jeezo I missed out there, never crossed my mind to get the cats involved in the build!

PeterW Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 4.8m span, 225mm depth, 89mm chord and 600 centres for about 26 plus some shorter ones for a stairwell (5 from memory plus a mahooosive double one) and all the z-clips and the 3x2 for the noggins, 95sqm of Egger protect and glue etc was just shy of £2k.

Big Neil Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 @mvincentd Do I see steels there in that first floor makeup? Who did you get to deal with them.?
mvincentd Posted June 11, 2019 Posted June 11, 2019 SE specced the steelwork and I used a local fabricator who also installed them ( he was a small outfit and mucked me around a lot with timing so I would not recommend and would use a larger company next time).
