It's always a fun day putting trusses up so I decided to put on the go pro, and film the day of us installing these trusses.
For this frame, I am working for JTR Carpentry and building this house for Goldbourne Constructions.

We always did it how you are but the builder I’m working with now keeps the crane on site as long as we need it. So now I lay the trusses out in order on the ground, give the rigger a plan and we bring them up one at a time. We fix the ends get a measurement and shoot temp bracing and by the time we are done the next truss is ready to go. We also build all non load bearing walls after the roof is on to minimise rain delays. It helps that the builder is in his late 60’s and has seen just about everything the industry can throw at us

Don’t want to tell you ya job but why not crane the trusses onto the roof in the correct order even if it means splitting them on the floor re-strapping and crane up , saving you time and more safe installation

@DaveDoesCarpentry 8 ай бұрын

I’d love to do that, but the crane/delivery truck is normally booked out with a lot of deliveries for the day, so they only have time to drop the trusses off and go to the next job

Done that for a lot of years but the rain is a lot nicer than the -40C temps and snow and ice we have to deal with here. Those are heavy and awkward to work with and when you only have a few inches to stand on you have to be tough

@adamclark447 5 ай бұрын

Cool video, surprised no safety nets or fall bags though. Should be the responsibility of the main contractor if you're subbing out to them though (assuming it wasnt part of your quote)

@shaneashby5890 4 ай бұрын

The reason they don’t do that is because there is no government laws forcing them to do it. Plus it then makes building even more expensive for the builder which he will then pass on the customer. In 20 years of 1st fix carpentry I have never seen that.

99% of roof frame installs in aus are done without fall protection

@@TrunksChoiceBand I'm talking about the staircase void protection. Just looking at his video I can tell that's roughly a 5.2m drop if a worker falls. Void protection is necessary and a legal requirement in Victoria

mate your an accident waiting to happen no void protection no perimeter scaffold if you or one of your workers fall theres a good chance they die. Industrial manslaulghter is a crime
