Constructing the walls
January 18, 2008The house was going to be pre-fabricated and then constructed on site. The building firm cut and constructed the walls in their workshops about 10km away. Our electrician visited during this time and installed channels for cabling to go through into the walls.
The first image shows working on the walls. There was considerable accuracy involved, with the cut patterns developed from the CAD files. This is the upper floor one with solitary window for the bathroom.
The walls were made in complete lengths. The following photo shows 3 of the 12 metre external walls waiting for cabling and insulation.
