GENERAL

• Calculations and details are to be read in conjunction with all relevant

architects & engineers’ drawings and specifications.
• The works are to be carried out to the approval and satisfaction of the
Building Control Officer, to accepted good building practice and with full
compliance and in accordance with all relevant British Standards and Codes
PADSTONE of Practice. Any works carried out prior to this are undertaken at the
400x100x215mm clients/contractors own risk.
• The client must appoint the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor and
comply with CDM. Regulations and that the Health & Saftery File is issued at

• All steelwork dimensions, levels and details to be confirmed by appointed
fabricator prior to commencement of ordering materials or fabricating.
Appointed fabricator to provide full steelwork connection design.
• All bolted connections are to use grade 8.8 bolts with a minimum of two M16
bolts per member unless specifically indicated otherwise on details.
• All welds are to be minimum 6mm leg length continuous fillet welds unless
specifically noted otherwise.
• All internal steelwork is to be blast cleaned to Sa 2.5 and painted with zinc
phosphate primer - Sherwin-Williams’ Macropoxy 400 or equal approved.
• External steelwork is to have corrosion protection, galvanised or encased in
concrete (wrapped in 2no layers of D49 mesh with 75mm encasement)

MASONRY
• All brickwork intended to take additional structural loads especially about the
point of loading from steels and padstones is to be exposed and checked by
approved inspector for adequacy to take additional loads. Any large cracks
or wall discontinuities and/or evidence of any previous movement not
apparent but exposed during construction is to be reported to engineer for
further evaluation.
• All lintels to have minimum 150mm bearing at supports.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN FIRST FLOOR PLAN SECOND FLOOR PLAN ROOF PLAN • Sulfate-resisting cement is to be used below DPC level.
• Pockets in party walls for padstones etc. are to be formed by carefully
removing stretchers and snapping off headers where required.
• For vertical movement joints in brickwork, refer to Architect's details. Allow for
movement joints in blockwork (at 6m centres) and in brickwork (at 10-12m
centres)
• Where chimney breasts are to be demolished and retained. Chimney stack
re-supported with steelwork, masonry to be cleanly disk cut back. Contractor
to undertake a flue survey to confirm flues do not cross the party wall.
Contractor to allow for the chimney breast and flues to be made good and
infilled with new masonry tied to the existing with wall starters and retrofit wall
ties.
