Steel

Met engineer this week. Structural steel framing coming together. Next step is meeting steel detailer to walk him through and get him to produce workshop drawings for fabricator. Sounds like such a long winded process but the way it is designed, the steel bones should go up in 4-5 days. From then, brickie, structural carpenter, roofer, windows and then lock up. Hoping lock up will be early May.

Steel framing plan came back from engineer. Will need to put another column at back of house. If not the beam is way to deep 360mm. Will not get that sexy exposed steel look trying to achieve. Ok, means need to rethink glazing. Bifolds that stack into column, sliders etc. Sort of leaning towards sliders for practicality with kids and user friendly. Only double sliders.
