So BCITO (who im doing my apprenticeship through) have changed the way in which they assess you. With majority of the work now done online. I thought to make it easier i will use this blog to pretty much submit my work! This way you guys can see what ive been doing AND maybe learn something too. Plus there website is very limiting, so this way i can share exactly what i need to so i can show how much i understand. I will start with a few images, followed by a detailed explanation.
Ceiling Framing: The two most commonly used framing options are Rondo or timber ceiling batten. I will comment about Rondo below.
When setting up the heights of which your ceiling framing is to be set, we usually take the overall height of the wall (floor to top of top plate) We then think about how the walls will be lined (x2 1200mm sheets fixed horizontally with x1 layer of 13mm GIB for the ceilings, this information can usually be found in the plans) So we have 1200 + 1200 + 13 + 10 (the 10 is for ease of installation of wall sheets) = 2423. Instead of using an awkward number, we round this to 2425.
