Nice to have you back (again) Rob, looking forward to seeing your new business go from strength to strength. You inspire complete confidence in every job you do. Cheers James
Interesting to see the steel beams being used. Would have been good to see a bit more on how they are fastened to other stuff such as the existing ceiling joists.
Fantastic great to see you installing steal again I’m glad you’ve got your own system, now you can head for the stars as your the man behind the original company and it’s you people think of , and now you can’t be stopped,, congratulations to you , you deserve the success that’s coming 👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Great way to convert a loft, it would be useful to show a thermal imaging survey when finished to see if the beams are insulated into the envelope to prevent thermal bridging.
Really good to see you back Rob, been missing your posts and enjoyed seeing them, this one is top class and would love to have this in my home, what a cracking job. Look forward to seeing future posts....
I used to build kits for flats and houses with the same frames and its crazy what can be build with them . I was using the scotsdale machines and shocked it never took off more to be honest .Looks exact same profile of their 90 machines. We used to use the 140 profile for the joists for extra strength.
We tried to get rob to do our loft when he was working with Ecotruss. So glad.he is shot of them. They were a nightmare to deal with. And we ended up going with a traditional system. Good luck to you rob!
@@builditwithrob hi rob, in the end, we went down the traditional route. Ecotruss stitched us right up with design phase. They clearly ignored the agreed and approved plans and just used someone else's loft and tweaked it. Then when challenged about it they claimed the £2k design fee. I had to threaten litigation to get it back. Nightmare.
Nice to see you using rubber on the roof. We have it on our extension. I watched the roofers do it and felt confident enough to re roof my garage with it.
Great to drop onto your channel. I am just designing a full second floor conversion using steel. Not sure how the planning dept. is going to feel as I know of no other house in our area with a design like mine. I have designed steel roof conversions for years so a full build will be interesting to do. Thanks for you time to do these vids.
Welcome back Rob, look forward to more of these videos. Hope your design comes to Northern Ireland cause I wanna do a conversion with a dormer on my detached property.
Hi mate, how would you insulate this system? You couldn't use PIR as fitting correctly between the studs and rafters would be impossible. If you used a "mineral wool" type insulation the thickness required to meet building regs would be much greater than the depth of the studs/rafters. The best and most efficient way would be to fit PIR boards to the external side of walls and roof. This would dramatically improve heat loss and limit thermal bridging through the metal frame structure. Cheers mate 👍
Thank you for the comment, depending on the size of the build RSJ and timber beams can be more costly and time consuming. The advantage is time and labour saved. its also water proof and flame retardant. Its also lighter weight than RSJ and timber frames which means you save on cranes and extra man power.
Mate, that looks amazing already! 🍻Quality construction and grand attention to detail that is! Interested to know if that is an aluminum frame or galvanized steel? Either way, way better than timber for the conversion. Cheers from Suffolk, East Anglia! 🇺🇸🇬🇧 I’ll have to contact you for our loft conversion. 😉
One word Rob, ‘Legend’
Thank you appreciate it
You need to get out more , or learn to read mate
Nice design tweak removing the need for furring strips. Thanks for the video, I've missed these.
Thanks mark
What an absolute fantastic team of experts led by a class professional can not praise your workmanship highly enough
Anyone would think that you know what you are doing 🤣. Looking very good and much more stable. Love to see the completely finished job.
Nice to see you back at it with your own kit and team.
Thank you it’s been too long

Unbelievable transformation. A fantastic system.
Thank you appreciate it
Looks amazing well done guys 👍
Great to see you back with a video Rob ! This definitely looks a better system than before with all your improvements on it 👍

That’s a monster loft conversion and will be a fantastic space for the home owner 👍
Does anyone else close their eyes and hear Keith lemon 😅😅😅 great job by the way👌

Thanks wayne
Hooooray, you're back! Only one person for our planned loft conversion
Thank you Robert
Look forward to hearing from you
I can see a lot of advantages in a steel frame system. Maybe next year I will try to do one.
Great to see you back!!!
Good to see you again Rob! As always keep up the good work ❤️
Thank you

Hello Rob, good to see you back! If you ever need an installer in Essex get in touch, looks a brilliant system.
Thank you pal
Good to see you back Rob! I always love your videos 😎👌
Thank you

Fantastic job mate, looks amazing.
Still getting back into the swing of it mate
Nice work rob, watch your vids all the time.
Thank you appreciate it
Nice to see you back on the channel Rob, Those Floor cords and rafters look a much better and stronger design than the Ecotruss ones.
its a complete new system and i changed the bits i didnt like
New design looks much stronger than the last lot. Should hold up better and gives a bit more confidence.
Welcome back matey! Looking forwards to the next one already…
Cheers bud
Nice to see you back doing the videos again, Rob. Top bloke. 😊.
Great to see you back, new system is looking great.
Hey. Thank you
Welcome Back. Not gonna lie been waiting on this since you teased the fabrication!
Sorry for delay I’ve been so busy

Mark
Thanks mark
You are amazing!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate
That's seriously impressive. Fantastic workmanship 👌
Good man Rob, back at the graft, fair play 👍
Thanks Barry
Love it, good to see you back and busy
Thank you
Good to see you again
Thank you
First thought, any mistakes made in measuring just leave the steel outside and even 10 years down the line it's still almost new - nice.
The new design looks really strong and robust and a big improvement Rob, nice one.
Welcome back!! Nice product design.
Nice to see you again Rob, brilliant job as usual👍
looking good nice work thanks lee
Great to see you back lad 👍
Thank you
This was amazing to see ❤
Welcome back Rob, look forward to more of these videos. Hope your design comes to Northern Ireland cause I wanna do a conversion with a dormer on my detached property.
They look class!
Thanks guys
Good to see you back Rob 🥰
Fab stuff as always, dont see you often enough. Cannot wait for the next one.
Thanks
Great job
I'm your big fan
Great to see you back, buddy…👍🏻
Thanks mark 👍
@@builditwithrob have you got a website..?
Its good to have you back!! I'm interested in having a loft conversion done myself. some advice would be great.
Drop me an email pal we will help in any way we can
great design rob some thought through improvements over the system you were using before ....
Thank tou
Good to see you back!!
I see others have asked - how will the thermal insulation be achieved, especially around the steel rafters?
Love it Rob. What an amazing kit.
He’s back! I only checked your channel 2 days ago to make sure I hadn’t un subbed by accident and missed anything 😂
Good to see you back
Thanks ash
The system looks great Rob bet those beams can take some weight! Good to see K still causing havoc 😂
Anyone thinking about this? its a GO from me
Thanks Mike 👍
Welcome back!
Thank you
5 days? Some serious graft that. The lost system looks great.
Hi mate, how would you insulate this system? You couldn't use PIR as fitting correctly between the studs and rafters would be impossible.

The best and most efficient way would be to fit PIR boards to the external side of walls and roof. This would dramatically improve heat loss and limit thermal bridging through the metal frame structure.
Cheers mate 👍
I was thinking the same. a warm roof would be best but hard to finish maybe. Or Spray Foam the inside but I wouldn't use it myself not a fan
Great to have you back Rob! Hair is looking great btw! Are you happy with it?
Hey 👋 really happy with hair and teeth
Not had any problems at all
@@builditwithrob looks good! Just trying to get the nerve to get mine done!
Yes rob having it largeeee
brilliant mate
Glad to have u bake love the video pal
Thanks Jason
Intelligent improvements nice!
Really interesting video, what are the cost implications of using the Steel truss method vs traditional timber ?
Looks like a really good method and probably lighter than timber. I wonder if the steel is protected, zinc coated, even a little rust would weaken it.
Fantastic
This looks incredible Rob! Superb job. I am wondering whether you cover Northern Ireland at all.
Nice 👍
Yes, he's back!
It’s been too long
Great to see you back Rob. Any Hummer updates forthcoming?
Rob, can you system extend to 9.5m in length? Thanks, great channels love your work !
Well done
How much do these beam cost?
Thanks for sharing your build. What is the advantage of steel over wood? Surely steel must be more costly?
Thank you for the comment, depending on the size of the build RSJ and timber beams can be more costly and time consuming. The advantage is time and labour saved. its also water proof and flame retardant. Its also lighter weight than RSJ and timber frames which means you save on cranes and extra man power.

Nice to see you to see you nice!! Welcome back what is the minimum head height please?
The minimum head height is 2440mm
