Need Help!!

[John1960]

Can anyone tell me the maximum distance the inside board can be from the wall on a progressive brickwork site and where is the guidance i.e. rules and regulations that will state this?

Thanks

Depends who the principal contractor is!:sad2:

should be 225mm, any more than that and you can get a board in

or

Fix an inside handrail, the agent can then deem it a Permit to Work area

but some main contractors say if your foot can go sideways down the gap its too big

Progressive brickwork,

3" from the inside edge of the inside board to finished wall measure

set the inside,of the inside standard a foot from the finished wall measure,for one inside board

for two inside boards set out at 21" as above

3" from the inside edge of the inside board to finished wall measure

We do ours about 3",enough for a brickies level to go down. I measure a spanners length to the inside edge of a baseplate & that seems to work..

Sorry John, I was thinkin of the render scaff
not the brickwork, Yep enough for a level 75mm / 3''

What do you do when you come to adapt for the plasterer ?

 

[tokwitney]

I ask the foreman before I base it out what the finish is,brick or render,if its render just space it a bit further away.If he doesnt tell me & we have to remove the inside board & pull the trannies back he gets charged,,

shouldn't plaster on top of bricks, blocks usually set back that little bit especially if rendered, (my experience only)

 

[ragscaff]

Have had a couple of sites where they want no gap for the 'blockwork' then when you adapt they want a tube installed on top of the trannys when you pull back due to the gap being greater than 225 between the ledger & wall. :wacko::nuts:
