FRAMING OBSERVATIONS

For those also building, I've noticed a couple of thingswith our frame that I wasn't expecting.
Firstly most of the downstairs studs seem to be factory joined, ie. not one length of timber.
Secondly the sales rep for NDH said stud spacing would be 450mm. Well downstairs is but upstairs is 600?
A builder friend claimed both of these are normal practice.

Thanks for the update. Do you think an independent inspector is required if we dont have any idea about building?

Gday Dave,
We've got a work colleague of a friend who is a building inspector to do some inspections. I think he will do one this week. It will at least give us some piece of mind.
Any progress with your permit?
Craig
