I am really happy to see you prospering so well since you left ECO Truss. They made a mistake letting you go; as you was the one driving all the business, and I am sure all who approached them asked for your direct installation. I am sure your step son is happy as well knowing, his step father will not fire him for foolish reasons. God bless you, your business and family sir 🙂
@@builditwithrob I would add that I think you should; reach out to all of your old sponsors, from your Eco Truss days-to continue sponsoring you as are independent. It was you alone that brought in huge traffic to your sight and business.
Proper buzzing for you Rob, after being told to go f**k yourself it’s good to see you smashing it fella. I went out on my own last year and haven’t looked back.
Welcome back, great to see you back at it. Love the videos, made me and my partner think about a dorma conversion but not sure if we have the hight to do it.
@@scottbob3917 That is what it seems like when we NEVER get to see a finished project. It's a bit weird. Maybe he just doesn't wanna show the other trades that finish as if he pretending it's his own work I get that. But just explain what you did and didn't do and show us the final result Rob
Its Because with eco he didn't get the chance to. And with just starting back up with the build it with rob kit he is finding his feet juggling everything. But this vidoe is part 1 of 3
it complete depends on the pack that we are doing to what stage i get to film upto. We do do most of the work and i dont have a problem with stating if another tradesman had come in to do. just like you will see in part 3 when our plaster comes in to plaster. but thank you for the comment
Why has neighbour left that car there,🤔because they are rubbish neighbours,why would you make it awkward for worker's,just oarkbit on road out of way,some people,😡 great job as per Rob.👏👏
Hi mate, I raised the same question in your last video but got no reply... How would you insulate this system? You couldn't use PIR as fitting correctly between the studs and rafters would be impossible. If you used a "mineral wool" type insulation the thickness required to meet building regs would be much greater than the depth of the studs/rafters. The best and most efficient way would be to fit PIR boards to the external side of walls and roof. This would dramatically improve heat loss and limit cold bridging through the metal frame structure. From what I've seen the system is great but you only show it as 50% completed, satisfying building regs over the last 50% looks to be the hard part. 👍 Cheers mate.
Hello bud Using insulation board and expanding foam is rather simple, we cut strips to fill C channel then put slab of insulation board between. You will see it being insulated in next video
I can attest to the relative (to timber) difficulty in insulating the steel structure - our frame isn’t the lattice beam style, rather each cord is comprised of two ‘C’ profile LGS extrusions, fixed together to form a UB with a lipped return to the plates in the web. It was a bugger to insulate especially with all the 90mm self tapping bolts used (like the inside of an iron maiden!). Chopped all the bolts down and partially cut through each 75mm PIR board prior to instal so we could locate the edges then ‘pop’ it into place. Just had to be spot on with the measurements and foam any and all gaps (that’s a tonne of foam as there were sections where it was impossible to get the PIR into). Then it was 50mm batten and completely wrapped internally with Actis Hybris multifoil, 50mm over batten and insulated PB to finish. Exterior is 18mm OSB, membrane, 50mm batten on 5mm packers and composite batten cladding. Ceiling is EPDM over 22mm osb t&g on firrings, PIR inbetween cords (installed same as walls) with batten, multifoil, insulated pb again. Lots of work but it paid off. I love watching your vids Rob, but I’m still sore that we couldn’t get you to do ours…
That would defeat the main selling point of this product. The eco trusses form self supporting triangles, so you don’t need large steel beams like you do with a wood framed loft conversion (those big steel beams take up some space in the room, and often require expensive crane hire).
Yes we revert to the traditional method when the steel frame wont work in the customers loft. we are currently doing one. the shorts videos are upon facebook mate
The music on this video is atrocious. It is so irritating I had to watch with the sound off. Please do not use it again. Having said that I still enjoy your work and especially your new steel system. Does it have a name ?. Cheers, Martin.

Great to see your videos back Rob !
Amazing as always guys keep up the good work...
Proper buzzing for you Rob, after being told to go f**k yourself it’s good to see you smashing it fella. I went out on my own last year and haven’t looked back.
Thank you mate, i will never just lie down. Yes i completely agree, wish id of done it year ago
Short and sweet. Very enjoyable
Looking good, Rob. I can't believe how quickly you got to this stage.
Its a much better system, goes up fast

Great as always mate! Love to see it 👏👏
Welcome back, great to see you back at it. Love the videos, made me and my partner think about a dorma conversion but not sure if we have the hight to do it.
Cracking Rob always feel great when your new video comes out! Can't wait for first snow on the ground conversion ha ha
Thank you bud
Great video, keep them coming Sibbo 🎉
Great to see you back at it on you tube mate , smashing it pal 😊
Plenty more to come mate
You guys do a cracking job always 👌👍
Thanks stu
Great to see you back Rob
Thanks Gary
Like the new system, it looks strong
Bigger better faster stronger 💪🏼
Nice to see you back.
Its great to be back!
I wish we had this product in the US.
I have seen the patents for this kinda system in the US mate
Good to see another video. I was wondering when you were going to be posting again.
I’ve got plenty coming struggle with time to edit
Great video rob, how much would a kit like this be for this property? Just purchased a bungalow and would be interested doing it this way
👏👏👍
Great to have a video Rob. Is your team doing a measure and supply only service
Yes we do a site visit and also off supply only package
Good to see you back Bob, have you made it up with your last steel supplier, or do you have a new one? Your hair is looking good as well.
Thank you much appreciated. We have colabed with another steel company to create the build it with rob kit. Yes its dong great thank you
Rob why do we never see the finished job on any of your projects? Surely you've inspected one or two after final fix.
Because he probably runs off
@@scottbob3917 That is what it seems like when we NEVER get to see a finished project. It's a bit weird.

Hi Rob. Is it possible to do a loft conversion (new dwelling) with a height of 2330mm from top of plasterboard to bottom of ridge?
Rob get this over to Northern Ireland please 🙏
We are looking into it mate
@@builditwithrob hope you do mate because it’s a game changer. It’s something I want to get done it the future on my house.
Video quality not your best but still enjoyable. Would be great if you gave some more details ie dimensions and technical details cheers Rob
Hi Rob, if you want to travel to Norfolk, I have a project similar to the one in this video. Steve
I’m happy to travel Steve. Drop me an email

Hi Rob, what are the dept pf the metal floor joists?
Hello friend
We have several different options
From 150 to 300

Would you offer in a wooden alternative ?
That would defeat the main selling point of this product. The eco trusses form self supporting triangles, so you don’t need large steel beams like you do with a wood framed loft conversion (those big steel beams take up some space in the room, and often require expensive crane hire).
You could cover the eco frames in a timber look vinyl laminate, that would give a wood look without the weight or the rot.
