THE COPYRIGHT OF THIS DRAWING IS VESTED IN
General Construction Notes and Guidance:
1. Calculations are not to be used for the purpose of ordering materials and should
only be used for Building Regulations submissions. All dimensions should be checked
by the contractor on site.
2. All steelwork to be mechanically wire brushed and painted two coats of red oxide.
Steelwork located in the cavity or below DPC to be suitably protected with 2 coats of
bituminous paint.
3. All steelwork connections to use grade 8.8 bolts unless stated otherwise. These are
to be spanner tightened using the appropriate podger spanner (min length 460mm)
or suitable power tools in accordance with BS2583. If a torque wrench is used the
torque applied should be around 90Nm for M16 bolts, 110Nm for M20 & 130Nm for
M24.
4. All timber to be grade C24 (SC4), unless stated otherwise. Preservative treated to
Architects details.
5. To be read in conjunction with Architects drawings, any inconsistencies between the
drawings should be reported. If any site conditions or existing details are found that
may affect the structural design, Engineer to be notified immediately.
6. For details of fire protection to steelwork, see Architects drawings.
7. The Contractor is to ensure that all existing construction is adequately supported,
using needles and props as required. Where a new beam supports the existing
construction, adequate pre-load is to be applied and suitable packs such as driven
dry-slate introduced, then pointed up with mortar.
8. All blockwork to be 7.3 N/mm2 in class III mortar below DPC in accordance with BS
5628: Part 3: 2005 or suitable 7.0 N/mm2 foundation quality blocks in class II mortar
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. All brickwork below DPC to be
Engineering Bricks DPC in accordance with BS 5628: Part 3: 2005.
9. The project requires the introduction of heavy structural elements such as steel
beams or concrete lintels. Although the Construction (Design and Management)
Regulation 2015 would not normally apply to this type of construction, the designer
still has an obligation to foresee risks and bring to the attention of the builder such
risks. In consequence, the builder is to take into consideration the placement of all
structural elements, ensuring that the method of lifting and placement is safely
carried out. Responsibility for this element lies with the Contractor. As the existing
walls need to be propped in order to introduce some of the lintels, this should also
be considered in relationship to the risk assessment of the Contractor. Safe working
procedures must be adopted. Responsibility for this element lies with the
Contractor. Splice details for long-span beams can often be accommodated if
required.
10. All construction products should be CE marked in accordance current legislation.
This includes all fabricated structural steelwork in accordance with BS EN 1090-1 and
BS EN 1090-2. The consequence class is CC2 unless noted otherwise. The service
class is SC1 for all buildings, SC2 for all lifting beams, sculptures & fall arrest systems.
Production category will be PC1 unless noted otherwise. All site welded items, S355
steelwork & CHS lattice girders will be PC2. As such the execution class for buildings
will be EXC2.
11. CLIMATE CHANGE: The Building Research establishment have produced a document
CBG 63 “Climate Change: impact on building design and construction”. Part of their
recommendations are that designers and builders should give consideration to:
a. Increased wind loading by providing additional laps and fixings to roof
coverings
b. Consider foundation depth on shrinkable clays and to avoid future problems,
increase the depth above standard requirements if there is a risk. This should
be in accordance with the NHBC Standards, Chapter 4.2 Guidance on Building
near Trees. If the calculations do not specifically design the depths of the
foundations to take into account any local trees, then this should be checked
and agreed with the Building Inspector on site.
12. Wall ties to be Austenitic Stainless Steel complying with BS EN 845-1.
13. Masonry walls to be properly bonded and solidly put together with mortar and
constructed of masonry unites conforming to:
· Clay Bricks or blocks to BS EN 771-1;
· Calcium Silicate bricks or blocks to BS EN 771-2;
· Concrete Bricks or blocks to BS EN 771-3 or BS EN 771-4;
14. Mortar is to be Mortar designation (iii) according to BS EN 1996-1-1:2005 with it's UK
National Annex.
15. Compressive Strength of Concrete blocks to be not less than 7.3N.
16. Walls to be strapped to floors above ground level at intervals not exceeding 2m as
shown in Construction Details Drawings. Tension straps to be Austenitic Stainless
steel conforming to BS EN 845-1 and of tensile strength not less than 8kN. Tension
straps to be provided in the longitudinal direction of joists as well as Perpendicular
direction to joists.
17. Where an opening in a floor or roof for a stairway or the like adjoins a supported
wall and interrupts the continuity of lateral support, the following conditions to be
satisfied:
· The maximum permitted length of the opening is to be 3m, measured parallel
to the supported wall, and
· Where a connection is provided by means other than by anchor, this is to be
provided throughout the length of each portion of the wall situated on each
side of the opening, and
· where a connection is provided by mild steel anchors, these are to be spaced
closer than 2m on each side of the opening to provide the same number of
anchors as if there were no opening, and
· there should be no other interruption of lateral support.
18. Wall ties to have a horizontal spacing of 900mm and a vertical spacing of 450mm, or
alternatively should be spaced such that the number of wall ties per square metre is
not less than 2.5 ties/m2. Wall ties also to be provided, spaced not more than
300mm apart vertically, within a distance of 225mm from the vertical edges of all
openings, movement joints and roof verges. Wall tie length to be 225mm.
19. All ordered Construction material to be CE Marked and conforming to relevant
British Standards.
Party Wall etc. Act 1996:
If part of the work is adjacent to the boundary, the adjacent neighbors right to support
could be affected; the issues associated with Party Wall Act may need to be considered.
This may include providing information to the adjoining owner, giving sufficient notice of
works in compliance with the Act. If the following list applies to this project then the Party
Wall Act will apply.
Installing a new beam into the shared wall between properties
Demolishing, building or under-pinning an existing shared wall
Building a new wall at or on the boundary or junction of two properties
Damp-proofing all the way through a party wall
Digging foundations that are within 3m of a Party Wall, where the new foundations are
deeper than the existing ones
Where the new foundations are within 6m and lower than a 45° line from the bottom of
the existing foundations
