TECHNIQUES

The technical processes and methods used in the


constructing buildings. This has become an increasingly
important aspect of the construction industry, as
buildings have moved from being evolutions of standard
types to becoming one-off prototypes, building
performance requirements have become more
demanding, and the number of products and specialist
suppliers has increased.
Now virtually as widespread as masonry
or steel frame construction

The main reasons for this are speed and


ease of construction compared to other
building methods

Timber frames are commonly utilized for basic structural designs, such as a timber
gazebo, porch, or summer home. There is few Techniques that can be referred.
PLANNING

As the structure consists of prefabricated


sections, a design must be given to the
manufacturer. This eliminates the need for an
architect because their own employees can help
with the original design. It may also verify that
all planning and fire rules are satisfied before
to the start of frame construction. If a stick
build is desired, they may offer the necessary
materials as well as building expertise.
Another way is the balloon frame, which
involves erecting two storey wall sections on

manually erected or will need to be lifted
into place by a crane.

ERECTING FRAMES
The next one is frame construction, the frames are made out of
hardwood studs and braces that are fastened to the top and
base plates with simple butt joints. Cladding of sheet material,
commonly plywood, nailed or screwed to the studwork forms
the exterior wall surface. The horizontal and vertical loads are
transferred to the foundations by these two components. A
breathable, water-resistant membrane is also applied to the
boards that make up the outside wall. This shields the exterior
layer during construction and acts as a second line of defence if
moisture penetrates the external covering. These are the only
frame parts in an open frame structure. An inner layer of
boards is also joined to a closed frame, and a layer of insulation
is put between the boards. Within the wall portions, doors and

windows, as well as electrics and plumbing, may be put.

CONSTRUCTION
EXTERNAL CLADDING

External cladding one of the techniques used after the


building's frame has been completed and the roof
trusses have been installed, the final coat of exterior
cladding may be installed. Depending on the desired
finish, this can be manufactured from a number of
materials. This might be a layer of brickwork or masonry
that is joined to the frame's exterior surface by wall ties
and spans an interior hollow. For a more natural
aesthetic, wooden cladding or shingles affixed to
treated timber batons might be employed. Roof tiles,
felt, or a similar roofing material will need to be applied
to the wooden layer that covers the rafters. Not only
does this improve the overall aesthetic, but it also adds
another layer of weatherproofing. This step brings the
fundamental structure to a close.
