Every wall is a timber frame: a bottom plate on the floor, vertical studs every 600 mm, and a top plate on top (two plates on outside walls). One row of noggings ties the studs mid-height.
Over every window & door goes a lintel (140×45) to carry the load above. Doubled studs each side of the opening: the outer king stud runs full height, and the inner jack (trimmer) stud — bottom plate up to the underside of the lintel — carries the lintel (king & jack nailed together, no gap). 90×35 plates sit on top of and under each lintel, plus a 90×35 sill plate under each window — the plates under the lintel and under the window give fixing (nailing) for the plasterboard and the window architrave. Cripple studs (@600) fill above the top plate & below the sill. Lintels/plates bear on the side jack studs; leave a small clearance (pack/shim) between the window top and the under-plate. SO = Monaro stud (rough) opening, height × width — frame/order to this (see GF-A01). ◤◢ Orange diagonals = Pryda Strap Brace bracing — they stop the walls racking (twisting) in wind. Fit the number of Type A brace units AS 1684 requires in each direction; locate near the ends of each wall.
The front & back wall frames run the full length; the side (end) wall frames fit between them — 4620 long (4800 − 90 − 90).
All openings shown to stud/rough-opening sizes (see GF-A01 window & door schedule). Preliminary — sizes, lintels & bracing to be confirmed by the engineer/certifier for wind class N2.
