INTRODUCTION - NHBRC

This High End Residential Manual should be read in conjunction with the relevant local building regulations. In addition, parties involved in the construction of Upmarket Residential properties need to take cognisance of the far-reaching regulations governing the planning and building of residential structures that were published in March 2007 by the National Home Builders Registration Council (NHBRC). These were in the form of a Code of Conduct for Home Builders.

In terms of the Housing Consumers Protection Measures Act (Act 1995 of 1998), the NHBRC is empowered to establish and promote technical and ethical standards in the home building industry and provide protection for housing consumers.

Home builders are obliged to register with the NHBRC and submit information on any residential project to the council.

In the following pages, we introduce you to the Lafarge Gypsum solutions for some key areas of building and interior finishing:

STEEL FRAME HOUSING

Steel Frame Houses

Lightweight steel framed housing is fast becoming an attractive option in the South African residential building market. Among the many reasons for this are:

Single slab foundationThe steel frame house requires a single slab as opposed to the traditional foundation.

Sustainable buildingThe Lafarge Gypsum Steel Frame System creates a strong, thermally efficient and desirable house. As a home owner’s family grows and their accommodation needs change, the internal wall layout can be readily changed without affecting the slab design. Extra rooms can easily be added.

Rapid constructionThe time required to complete a house is reduced by a third compared with traditional construction. The components of the frame can be partially / fully assembled in the factory and delivered directly to site leading to a quicker assembly on site. Once a section of the frame is in place, the builder can move directly to exterior and interior cladding.

“Lafarge Gypsum is offering a totally new solution to house construction and renovation. It meets the growing need for a faster, more efficient building process that is cost effective and versatile, while providing a high quality, aesthetically pleasing end result. …….”

Cornelius - Property developer



STEEL FRAME HOUSING

Volume production benefitsLafarge Gypsum’s Alrode Steel factory is geared to prefabricate certified standardised steel sections of similar house designs. This helps ensure consistent construction quality and offers potential economies of scale.

Preplanned external wallsAll panels are prefabricated with the door and window openings already in place, enabling quicker installation of windows and doors.

Versatile internal wallsThe frame system makes provision for:• Easy installation of electrical and other wiring and plumbing within the wall cavities giving more space and a superior attractive finish to rooms• Easy installation of insulation to enhance comfort and acoustic values• Cladding internally with Jumbo ® plasterboard to give flat, smooth, elegant-looking walls• Completely square walls and corners making fitting of kitchens units and cupboards straightforward and neater

Steel frames for housing are manufactured and supplied by Lafarge Gypsum using the Frame Master ® technology in New Zealand, which has been installed and commissioned on the Alrode plant site in Johannesburg. An architect’s house plan is fed digitally into the Frame Master® machine’s CAD (Computer Aided Design) program to create an optimised frame design. From this, the Frame Master then manufactures cut-to-length galvanised steel sections. The sections are assembled to form a complete house frame, including door and window frames, plus the roof trusses.

Ceilings below timber joistsPlasterboard ceilings on timber framing are typically for domestic applications, the plasterboard being attached directly to the underside of floor joists or the bottom chords of roof trusses. Fixing is simple and they provide a smooth finish for direct decoration. The plasterboards can also be given a textured finish or form a base for Jumbo® Skimming Plaster.

They are also a means to upgrade a basic ceiling construction, whether new or existing, to provide greater fire resistance and sound insulation as required.

Our standard range is:• Residential Flush Plaster Ceiling consists of:• 9mm or 12mm Jumbo® Plasterboard• Lafarge Steel Brandering

“Lafarge Gypsum are the solutions people. Whether my clients require a simple clean functional look or want to transform a room to become a more stylish, luxurious

living space ………” Nicole - Interior Designer

The basic requirement for a ceiling system is that it should be quick to install, practical and effective at meeting sound or fire insulation standards. Lafarge Gypsum has a flexible range of components to meet these needs and to satisfy a number of other requirements. The range includes decorative mouldings, access panels and solutions for curved or vaulted ceilings.

Some typical ceiling solutions are:Suspended ceilings Suspended ceilings can conceal unsightly services or untidy structural elements, while providing fire resistance and thermal insulation and a beautiful clean finish.

Lafarge Gypsum’s suspended ceilings offer a simple, elegant and cost-effective solution. Comprising a versatile range of straightforward standardised components, some of which just clip together, our suspended ceilings are easy and quick to assemble on site, with minimal wastage.

Ceiling heights can be varied to accommodate services and ducting, while performance specifications are met by selecting the appropriate grade of plasterboard and insulation.

Flush Plaster CeilingsThe same fire and acoustic performance standards can be met with Lafarge Flush Plaster Ceilings. To overcome uneven ceilings on refurbishment projects and in new buildings, Lafarge Gypsum’s Flush Plaster Ceilings offer very simple, quick and cost-effective solutions. The system comprises a simple connector, which is fixed to the sides of timber joists, and Lafarge Steel Brandering which merely clips onto the connectors. Jumbo® Plasterboards are then screw-fixed to the channels in the normal way.
