![]() ![]() ![]() I will go through the design of the kennel building over the next few steps, the other buildings are similar. Slabs were laid to extend beyond these dimensions and accommodate the buildings. This resulted in internal building dimensions becoming: The dimensions of the buildings were first revised so as the floors and walls were based (internally) on uncut 2440x1220mm sheets. No concrete was used here as this would start a requirement for planning as it is deemed to make the installation permanent. We leveled off the 3 sites and started to lay slabs on a bed of sand. We got these for free as one of our volunteers worked at a local prison where the prisoners made the slabs for community schemes. As the buildings were to be timber, it was decided that we would build on top of 600圆00mm (24x24") concrete paving slabs. The inability to dig and pour foundations was a big problem. The major challenge in front of us was creating a suitable surface to build on. Please build at your own risk but enjoy the process and learn some new skills along the way. These drawing may be inaccurate or incomplete in parts but do reflect the original design work for large timber frame constructions. *Please note I am not an architect or a builder, these drawings were good enough for the construction of these temporary buildings and were good enough to satisfy an engineer from our local council office. Build timber frames in sections, flat on the ground inside an existing shed and lift them into place for speedy construction. ![]() Build around the dimensions of a standard 2440x1220mm (8x4) sheet.In order to cut down the amount of large scale building works, I decided on 2 things: I also had to simplify the design where possible as many of the laborers on the job were not experienced in construction, so it had to be easy to point them at some work and allow them to complete sections relatively unsupervised. These were all achievable sizes, we did, however, have to overcome issues regarding building outside of planning permission requirements, building large buildings without foundations, building with relatively cheap materials (as buildings were temporary and all funding for works came from charitable donations). A recreation hall with staff area approx.For the first stage of construction, there were 3 buildings required: ![]()
