Thanks, mate. It is very easy to understand. Your content is unique.

[Homemdodedosangrando]

Thanks for the video mate. Very clear and proud to have an expat like me talking about construction here in Australia. Well done!! Will send the video to a friend coming from Brazil which has no idea about the constructions types over here!!

Love your work Gabriel. Your efforts are not in vain. Keep up the good work

[arashsamadi]

Great explanation! Thanks for creating this 👍

[ABeardedDad]

Ah mate, this is the video I've been looking for! Really simple breakdown of structural methods and references to the standards! Just perfect.

During my own home build in Queensland, I used Achilles Machinery’s tractor for several landscaping and groundwork tasks, and it made a huge difference. The tractor is tough, reliable, and perfect for handling all sorts of tasks, from clearing land to moving heavy materials. If you’re taking on a construction project, this equipment would definitely be worth considering.

I hope you can do more videos like this. These type of videos are extremely helpful. Cheers mate 👍

What would be the outside cladding of a timber-framed house if it is not brick veneer? Would it also have a cavity?

[mabamabam]

In double brick both leaves are built at the same time. The outside leaf is finished before roofing, windows, doors, plastering or any other finishings are started.

Mate this channel is fantastic, any chance of an example run through using the standards for wind loading?

[edmarferreirajunior]

As an architect, I understand that the brick veneer system is not an efficient solution in terms of thermal performance. The brick wall is a thermal mass, that is, a heat accumulator. In hot climates, the mass remains warm for several hours after sunset, maintaining heat flow into the house when outside temperatures have dropped and the house should be cool. In cold climates, as it is insulated inside, thermal mass remains cold on the outside and cannot be used to keep the house warm because it does not receive heat from internal heating.
The double brick wall system is more efficient as the insulated cavity is in the middle of the walls and the thermal mass of the internal wall is protected. Thanks for the excellent video!

I'm getting a house built and this is interesting!

Hi mate, do you have a hard copy to down load of your "step by step"

[mohamedali]

Thanks mate, enjoyed the video, Could you please let me know how to get the civil technical specifications?

[RasikaIndrajith-ok]

Thanks for your video, and I found it really informative. Would you be kind to answer 2 questions please:
Q1. In the brick veneer wall, does the outer layer brick resist to lateral loads like bracings?
Q2. In the double brick wall, does the outer brick layer can resist the vertical loads or only inner layer resist vertical loads?

[divusbesario]

I want to work there in Australia to learn that techniques so that I can apply that method here in our country.

How do I know the type of construction of a house when I have an inspection?
