• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Before you order joist hangers and timber connectors

Restraint straps

Building regulations require lateral restraint in many situations; your design shows where.

Use the right nails

Connectors only perform with the fixings specified, usually square-twisted or connector nails in every hole the maker requires.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.
