GOALS FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION

 

Theory: Add your comment on this item33

 

i)                    Given a complete set of frame and construction drawings for a small (3-4 bay) timber frame, learners will highlight all timber-framed elements that interface with the work of general carpenters. Learners will determine appropriate tolerances for these areas of interface, and methods for ensuring that the work will flow smoothly on site. This will be discussed in a group setting, with an experienced general carpenter. Add your comment on this item34

 

Practical: Add your comment on this item35

 

ii)                Learners will de-brief the construction of a timber framed building with the general carpenters who performed the work.
