C nail can also be connected on top plate and studs/jack stud with routing then nail flash against the walls
 Roof plan bracing will need to be fixed before nailing all purlin off, steel brace strap running 45 degree at end of roof plan under purlin is to be tension and nailed on tuess and top plate.

Wire dogs/Z nail is to connect purlin and truss together, bottom two and top two purlins are to be fix with 2 wire dog one each side of truss, all other area are to be fix with one in stagger pattern. There also require a wire dog at every cut end of purlin to enforce the hold down
70 x45mm purlin is to be fixed at 500mm spacing for the bottom two from eve and top two from ridge, the rest will be spaced equally. Nail off purlin when all roof trusses are level and equally spaced. Purline is to be cut and joint on truss and stagger pattern, 2 nails on all purlin to truss and 4 nails at joints of 2purlins
Truss setting on top plate can also be fixed off with two CT 200 Ceiling Tie on each side of the truss, all holes are to be nail for the strength of the tie
Dragon Tie can be installed before purlin are fixed, a piece of 100 x 50mm timber fixed 45 degree on top plate to top plate at external walls and no more than 2.5m away from the corner
 Two sloping verge of the house can be constructed either by outrigger & fly rafter or pre-nailed boxing. Outrigger is to overhang on verge of truss by 405mm and fix with fly rafter of 45mm at the end, a piece of diagonal outrigger is set approximate 45 degree setting on top of end truss and fixed onto fly rafter and outrigger.

Tags nail a piece of timer over top of all trusses to hold time together and un-tag each truss when fixing. Mark out position of each individual trusses on top plate at both side of the building, each truss are spaced at 890mm center to center. Mark out position of perlins before the truss pack is open up or the conveniences when fixing in future



Starting fixing trusses from both end of the roof and brace up with timbers on to the timber floor, level end trusses and tag nail pieces of timber on face wall framing. set string line on the ridge on both trusses (the end with a lower truss design for fixing outrigger has to set form the second one in which is same to all other trusses), use dogger block and pack under string line on both end then use it as a mark for setting other roof trusses
set up scaffold for erecting roof trusses and cladding
router for wind tie/bracing strip on the exterior face of the wall, it will then give a flash face for fixing exterior cladding.

square wall framing by checking the room dimension for bedroom, bathroom and toilet, measure according to site plan from all 4 corners and adjust internal framing to suit the dimension on plan. use the 345 method to measure by setting string line on the corner then adjust to fit until angle is right. Once dimension and corner are accurate at 4 corner of the room, then straighten the wall with a straight edge or string line and dodger block and fix bottom plate permanently with 2 nails between every stud.
 Bathrooms require to be square off most accurately due to fixing of shower box and bathtub later on, when squaring off corner of the walls use a 90 degree square and adjust walls to fit the metal square
