Bro your channel is a godsend, I recently started a career as graduate engineer in a small firm, and have been daunted by how much my seniors use short hands. Haven’t had too detailed of a browse on your videos yet, but they seem to help a lot with understanding the construction aspect too that uni don’t teach! Keep up the good work mate!
i love your videos and they're really helping me through my apprenticeship so thankyou! Although I don't understand, wall 2 that has the window, you have divided the wall length by stud spacing for common studs. Would you not have to minus the length of the window and then divide by stud spacing?
Hi Mate, thanks for your comment, I'm glad you like the videos. As for your question the amount of timber you are going to save is minimal considering to need Jack Studs above and below the window and Jamb and secondary stud beside the windows anyways. If you did it the way you have suggested you would then have to workout the Jack Studs etc. Hope this helps.
Thanks for this useful video mate I just discovered your channel and it's been bookmarked straight away Can I ask which CAD or BIM software are you using? At least for this video? Cheers
Can i ask if this scenario acceptable: i have 2440 finished flooring to ceiling.10mm ceiling and 20mm floor tiles and adhesive.can i just use standard 2.4 stud and 45mm top and bottom plate. So i can save some labour to cut down stud to match 2440 finish Thanks
Hi Mate, you could but you will be lucky to get all the lengths of timber exactally the same length, they are usually supplied slightly longer then thier advertised length and will need to at least have the ends sqared up. Hope this helps.
Hi Mate, i have a bit of a hack for that ruclips.net/video/iO6FaJJXFp0/видео.html&pp=ygUKdmVyZ2Ugc3R1ZA%3D%3D but will have to do an actual video, for small roof you could just measure them in. ruclips.net/video/iKyD4vR_6-M/видео.html&pp=ygUFZ2FibGU%3D hope this helps
Great video. Thank you. As a question, should you include the cripple studs under and possibly over the window or are you referring to a sliding door style.
Hi Mate, yes you would have cripple or Jack Studs above and below the windows. Using this method to calculate the members doesn't allow for the windows as the amount you would actually save would be very small. Thanks for you comments
Ok, have you allowed for the window sills? By calculating the noggins as the same length as the wall we allow for the Door head and the window sills and then the window head are calculated separetly.
Hi Airad thanks for your comments I have thought about that type of video a few times and It seems like it would be really complicated in order to cover all the different options that are available. Where do you want to start from, do you have council permission etc? If it is just the building process I would suggest looking at the videos in this playlist and find the one that matches the way you are constructing your house and use that as your procedure ruclips.net/p/PLHFT_d-5EhN4F5PA2KhwjQ1oG2jTm-YY2 Hope this helps
Great, The most useful videos on construction I have found. Just the right amount of detail. Also, covers relevant requirements of the building code. I'm trying to find some videos on gable and shed dormer construction, I know you said previously you might get round to making something on this subject. I hope you manage to eventually. Thanks for making these vids public.
As an expierienced estimator of 20 years this is absolutley inncorect you missed the ribbon plate , your studs are all wrong you have three studs to an intersection , you missed the jack studs to the windows you missed the header plates , you missed packers to your interections. This advice is not correct
Hi Pete, Thanks for your comments. I would be interested in seeing your method of working out the wall frame quantities and to know what country/state you are building in. Personally, as the Australian Standard 1684 - Timber Framed Buildings does not require a ribbon plate in all situations and because if I am building a frame myself I would rather not have the joins in the Ribbon Plate line up with the joins in my walls, I tend to calculate the Ribbon Plate as a separate item and just order the longest lengths to make up the required lineal metres. AS 1684 requires 3 studs per intersection in most situations and this is the most common method use in my area. As I have not made any deductions for the window with my Stud calculations the Jack Studs, Trimmers/packers/plates for the Header and packers for the intersections will come out of this extra material and the extra material due to the rounding up to standard timber lengths. I hope this helps clear up a few of your concerns.
Would you really order all those different sizes? I would have thought it’s easier calculate total linear meters and order pack of 4.8 m. That way you can cut your studs to 2.4 with minimal waste, cut your plates and use any offcuts for noggings.
You could do it that way Martin as long as you take into consideration that your Jamb Stud may be a different size than the studs you are using. You could double up the thinner material however that is more material. Also, you may need to have certain length plates to avoid window and door openings and join at intersections rather than in a straight run. Yes, I would definitely convert large numbers of shorter lengths into lesser numbers of longer lengths e.g 4.8m lengths for the studs once I have calculated the total number required. This video is just meant as an introduction to apprentices so they don't miss anything and they can see how each member is calculated. Once they get their heads around this I'm sure they will develop there own shortcuts and rules for calculating the materials Thanks for your comments
Thanks for the reply. We are doing the owner builder thing and I have found all your videos very useful. I think I have watched just about all of them. Thanks again.

Brilliant. Slightly overwhelming but brilliant. thank you
Thanks Mate, Glad you liked it.
very clear and simple explains.much better than my tafe teacher . thanks
Thanks Mate, i'm glad it helps.
These lessons are priceless 👌 thank you again ❤
Thanks Mate, I'm glad you like them
These videos are bloody awesome. So informative. Thanks mate.
Thanks for your comment, Mate, Glad you like them!
great video, do you have on on calculating roof and window quantities?
Hi Mate, only on member lengths, not quanities so much.
ruclips.net/video/XWPXJgTmDBI/видео.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
This playlist may help.
@@Buildsum thanks heaps, I’ll check it out 😊
What about for a gable roof how do you calculate the different heights of each stud thanks lov these videos
Hi Mate, i have a bit of a hack for that
ruclips.net/video/iO6FaJJXFp0/видео.html&pp=ygUKdmVyZ2Ugc3R1ZA%3D%3D
but will have to do an actual video, for small roof you could just measure them in.

Sir can you please explain how you calculated the order, i mean 2/3.6 and 2/3.9, this 3.6 and 3.9 how did we got this values
Hi Mate
This video may help

@@Buildsum thank you,
thank u very much, it's very helpful for construction students
Hi Josh, thanks for you comment, Glad to hear that
Great video. Thank you.

Thanks for you comments
Hey, to find noggins should we deduct door openings?
Hi Mate, if you do you will just have to add more timber for the door heads.
Well i have already found header over doors and windows. So in this case i need to right?
Ok, have you allowed for the window sills? By calculating the noggins as the same length as the wall we allow for the Door head and the window sills and then the window head are calculated separetly.
@@Buildsum yes I have done that. And thanks for the reply. Your video did help me finish my work.
Thanks Mate, good to hear
your video is amazing and very clear simple. can you show me how i can calculate my external wall cladding?
Thanks Mate, this video may help, ruclips.net/video/WtLDYoHZYYg/видео.html. Let me know if you have any further questions.
@@Buildsum did 0.23 is standard or depends on size of the width of any weatherboard?
It depends of the width of your weatherboard and the minimum specified lap.
@@Buildsum So for example, if the width of my weather board is 200 (0.2) , what will be my anticipated lap, in order to calculate my EEC?
The normal lap is 20 - 25mm.
Perfect mate!! Just about to do this!!
Hi Richard, Thanks Mate.
If I wanna build a house, can you please tell me from where do I have to start? Can you do video for owner builders I love your channel

hey man can you make a video how to estimate framing ? please i nee it
Hi Javi, if what you wanted is not covered in this video what type of framing are you looking for?
@@Buildsum hahaha i reckon

What is 2/3.6 and 2/3.9 _ could not get it
Hi Mate, 2/3.6 is 2 lengths of whatever timber you are using at 3.6m long. Hope this helps
@@Buildsum Worked well, Thanks :)
