A floor 3.6 m wide with joists spanning 3.9 m at 400 mm centres needs 10 joists, plus trimmers and noggins. The section and grade, such as 47 × 200 mm C24, come from span tables or your engineer; send us the timber schedule and we will price it.

Getting carcassing timber onto your Argyll and Bute site

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Across most of Argyll and Bute, deliveries are quoted individually because of the distance and access.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

Treated Carcassing Timber: choosing well

Which treatment?

Treatment is specified by use class. Timber inside a building is usually use class 1 or 2; external timber out of ground contact is use class 3; timber in ground contact needs use class 4.

C16 or C24?

C24 is stronger and stiffer, so it can span further or use a smaller section. Span tables and your structural drawings decide which grade and size you need.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
