Building and Energy has conducted technical inspections of timber framing to Class 1 buildings focusing on timber wall framing.
Findings reveal deficiencies with both pre-fabricated and site built timber wall framing.
Industry Bulletin 151 highlights common construction issues found through Building and Energy’s residential timber framing inspections. This presentation highlights areas to improve compliance in wall framing connections. These address common issues relating to an insufficient chain of tie- down connection from the roof into and through the wall frames and supporting surface.
