frameCHECK structural engineering checks to confirm the strength, stability and robustness of timber frame elements.
frameCHECK considers:
- calculations and material specifications prepared by others
- ancillary items (eg metal work, rafter bracing and joist hangers)
frameCHECK covers all relevant engineering standards including:
- BS 5268 Structural use of timber
Part 2: Code of practice for permissible stress design, materials and workmanship
Part 3: Code of practice for trussed rafter roofs
Part 6: Section 6.1: Code of practice for timber frame walls - Dwellings not exceeding four storeys
For buildings that are not dwellings or are over four storeys frameCHECK engineers draw on their extensive commercial experience and on the knowledge gained through the unrivalled TRADA research programme into timber frame construction.
Structural engineering checks can also be made against Eurocode 5: Part 1.1: Design of timber structures. General rules and rules for buildings.
