Cut LVL and I Joists are packaged on bearers that are up to 1.2m wide and in units less than 2 tons, we use steel banding so that all our packaging is recyclable. Pack numbers are individually marked in sequence and shown on the supplied assembly instructions, this helps on-site storage and handling eliminating wasted time and facilitating speedy erection. Using a flatpack format for packing and handling reduces transport costs and is easier to store dry as it requires less area.
Assembly drawings are supplied for each phase of the build from the initial frame, through racking to the cladding/insulation stage. The drawings provide a simple and logical construction path clearly showing which pieces go together in what order. All screws and fixings are supplied as part of the kit, fixing points (and fixing type) are marked on the supplied assembly drawings and locations are clearly marked on each cut section.
All fixings, tapes and membranes needed for the construction of the We Build Eco building shell are supplied, these include:
- Connecting plates and gussets – clearly marked
- Structural screws & fixings
- Staples
- Airtight tapes
- Joist hangars
- All membranes.
Whole rigid wood fibre boards, racking boards and insulation (including flexible insulation batts) are included. These may need to be cut to size on-site.
If Zell wood fibre floc is being blown in, once the building is weathertight, we recommend using one of our approved installers to blow on-site.
