FOREWORD

The enclosed details are indicative of current practice and are issued for guidance

only.

Any timber frame structure manufactured and supplied by Sips eco panels will be

designed specifically for the project and will be detailed accordingly. Construction

of the timber frame must be carried out in accordance with the drawings and details

issued for construction.

Sips eco panels reserve the right to amend details as required to reflect revised

practices and changes in Building Regulations.

Whilst we believe that the contents reflect current Building Regulation requirements

it is the builder's or project manager's overall responsibility to ensure compliance

and to seek approval from Building Control Officers or other certifiers, as no

warranty is given or should be implied as to the accuracy of the information for any

specific application.

THIS MANUAL MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH NHBC AND OTHER

GUARANTOR'S STANDARDS, ALL RELEVANT BRITISH STANDARDS AND

CODES OF PRACTICE AND ANY OTHER SPECIFICATIONS RELATIVE TO

YOUR PROJECT.

CONSTRUCTION (DESIGN & MANAGEMENT) REGULATIONS (1994)

All construction projects large and small are subject to the CDM Regulations

(1994). Essentially the regulations make the client responsible for implementing

aspects of health and safety on their site.

If the development will be for a domestic client or will be less than 30 days in

duration then the responsibility for Health and Safety is then passed onto the main

contractor. In most cases for Sips eco panels the client is the main contractor.

In all cases the client may devolve this responsibility to a CDM Planning

Supervisor, who will act on the clients behalf. Please refer to a Planning

Supervisor for advice.

concrete upstand can also be used with a GEN1

mix.' N.B. If the block wall overhangs the cavity,

the erectors must ensure the DPC is lapped over

the outside face of the coursing block to stop

water ponding on top of the overhang. It is

possible that to avoid this the block could be

flush with the floor and frame (cavity side), but a

Building Inspector may query the 6mm internal

cold bridge - this should be checked with your

Building Control and / or Insurance Inspector.
