on the wall ties on party walls ,i got pulled for putting in a tie at 800mm because of spacing , then couple months later we had different inspector who pulled us for missing ties , tried arguing about it and he did not want to know
@@mace106 we had to move a wall tie 10mm because it was 890 instead of 900 the building trade has gone bonkers mate I’m 61 know I would not advise any youngsters to do bricklaying know I’ve managed to talk my grandsons out of doing it for me it was a great job until about 10 years ago they all want these fuckin daft awards for what a certificate and make life difficult for all the trades to make your money shite
good info imo,standard stuff that most should know,when Zurich was inspecting ours,probably 15yrs ago they wanted ties at 225 on gable cut ups,its weakest point of house
I'm 48 now another few years I won't be going on site alot of people won't entertain now and can see why chippy on price will tell you to do one and bricklayer on price with today's prices no chance better of walking away from bricklaying now
@@Mark-lu3tn plots do have to pass air tests now. I build my own houses and the last thing you need is a failed air test, hard to correct. Air tests are done when plot is finished so as you can imagine trying to find the source of an air leak means potentially ripping plasterboard off of walls etc
Ignore the reveal tie and place it in the middle of the tie below to create the diamond pattern, NHBC do not count the reveal tie as breaching the 900mm rule
It’s the distance sound travels so 890mm may end up with same amount of ties but sound transmission could be worse as ties are closer together! I’m sure 10mm won’t hurt, I’m just trying to explain why it’s 900mm
I know this video is just to help lads out but it also highlights why so many good brickies are leaving the sites behind and doing private work, ive been building houses for 25 years now and every one of those years the NHBC have added stupid extras that us brickies have to do and our prices never change with them! And be honest people are the NHBC worth the paper there printed on?? No way!!! How many houses have we seen handed over to customers which have been inspected several times by NHBC which are a mess! Loads in my time. Its ok for joiners because they have a power tool for everything and there always on great prices yet us brickies get more and more added on, our prices never rise much and what power tools do we have? A bloody radio! As far as im concerned the NHBC are clowns!!
I don’t agree. Of course there are horror stories of defective work and poor workmanship, social media highlights this more than ever. You say that NHBC are not worth the paper they are written on but you complain that that the level of inspections are more frequent and a higher standard is expected. A home is 99% of the time the biggest single purchase of persons lifetime, surely it’s time for the industry to protect purchasers more than ever. Bricklayers tools, profiles, bench saws, internal profiles, gable profiles are more readily available than ever. The introduction of Part L requires all developers to photograph a significant amount of photos as evidence of good practise, don’t realise the impact of failed Part L photos? It’s not just black and white I’m afraid. One thing I do agree on is that rates need to reflect all of the above and I see rates improving across the industry over next few years
I don’t do a lot of NHBC site work but I like to keep my private work with their guidelines. On party wall are they including distance between the last tie and the cavity? So I have 1790mm left, do I leave that tie as will only have 890mm between tie and back of external cavity? All our jobs are Architect certified. But like I said, where possible I feel best practice is to stick with NHBC. hope this makes sense. Thanks
NHBC standards are the gold standards really and somthing we apply even on small domestics jobs. In terms of the ties, if you are going to breach the 900mm the tie gets omitted
I know there’s good money in the footings but working in the conditions you do I’d expect good money. Certainly no longevity working in the footings. Personally I don’t think it’s right or acceptable. Conditions should be same as when building superstructure

The designs that mean food providing father's can go home with empty pockets if there wall ties are 10mm in the wrong place what will happen if that wall tie is left 10mm in the wrong place you don't just play by the rules you implement aswell by acting as a subby
Great video Tony, easy simple tasks causing costly repercussions.
Finally someone who gets the point of the video! Pisses me off seeing simple things that end up costing everyone time and money 👍🏻

Price work lads are still earning decent money, and in reality things haven’t changed that much, they are just more closely monitored
Plus you have to fill all brickwork and block work as you go every hole must be filled all time consuming
Site work is shite they want everything done for shit money fuckin Subbys fuck em off

What would you do with ties on party wall with a door in it, like on a block of flats. Can’t put ties up reveal and keep 900 apart.
Ties at reveals and expansions stay the same and then 900mm off the reveal tie
@@Tone_Team yes but how do you stagger the first tie next to the reveal on the alternating course.
Ignore the reveal tie and place it in the middle of the tie below to create the diamond pattern, NHBC do not count the reveal tie as breaching the 900mm rule

Great video mate. Can you do a video of how you do your brickwork take offs from drawings? Would be interested to see if there’s a more efficient way
Yes mate, we use something called BlueBeam, great software for take offs

If the ties end up 890 its the same amont of ties

So you got two weep holes over a gas box,that is going to let gas out if there’s a leak. Your having a laugh 😅😅😅😅
Pay attention. Less weep vents to PREVENT gas entering the cavity, not to release the gas.
@@Tone_Team I wouldn’t worry too much about that, the weep holes will probably be full of muck anyway. So it’s just a load of bollocks
