1st fix time for timber frame

[TJC1]

Evening all

Have many of you worked with timber frame buildings? Im pricing 9 houses which are all timber frame and have easy joist so no drilling of joists

All houses are 4 bedroom with TV and DATA points in each room, downlights downstairs and a garage with a light and socket

How long would you allow to first and second fix? I feel i work fast....

Yeah but use Eaton b-line telescopic brackets. Set up a laser and can do a whole room in a few minutes. Also use the Dewalt stapler for clipping.

Stapler worth the hefty price lee?

Stapler worth the hefty price lee?

Yeah I would say so mate. Obviously doesn’t look the neatest but good for bashing in timber framed houses. I’m doing 5 timber framed houses atm which are normal joists first and second floor and metal web joists on ground floor. It’s really good for the 1st and 2nd floors. I done half the 1st floor using tool belt, clips and hammer and my business partner done the other half with the stapler and was done quicker. I would say if you do a lot of timber framed then it will more than pay for itself.
