External cladding
Wall frames are completed with windows fitted. Roof sheeting is also fitted. Next job is the external Travetine tiles.
timber wall frames
the windows are double glazed to help with our 6.5 star energy rating and were imported form china by WestChina Trading.
Note the electrical cables coming up through concrete slab. These are the main power supply, telephone line and data line ( to monitor the solar power system)
Looks like timber frames are everywhere. In fact there is not a huge number of walls. We managed to make and fit all the frames in a few days.
Photo shows front door and windows are fitted. Builders construction paper is also fitted to help with insulation.
Corner window to bedroom, both doors slide with no corner posts.
Same window showing view to the outside.
Concrete slab and walls
Steel roof sheeting was used as formwork for the concrete deck.
Steel formwork is in place along with the top steel ring beam. Z200 steel purlins have been bolted in place. Just needs steel mesh for the concrete and the plumbing pipes fitted prior to concrete.
A great team pouring the concrete slab.
Concrete is finished , the verandah areas down each side and the alfesco area ( closest to photograper) will be honed finish using concrete polishing machine.
Honed finish on concrete took three days to complete. ( most of the time was spent on cleaning up the mess).
