Standard Construction Booklet

INTRODUCTION

This Construction Details booklet contains typical details of framing members, sheeting, trim, and accessories common to most Dean buildings.  Using this booklet in conjunction with the blueprints and shipping list prepared for a specific building will permit an experienced steel erector to erect any building in a timely manner that is both structurally sound and pleasing to look at.

This booklet is divided into three (3) parts as follows:

                                                1.            Structural Framing Details

                                                2.            Sheeting and Flashing Details

                                                3.            Accessory Details

Additionally, each part is subdivided into many parts that show construction details for the various types of buildings fabricated by Dean Steel Buildings, Inc.  Please note that many details presented in this booklet may not be relevant to the building type you are erecting.  The first thing that you must do is identify from the purchase order what building type you are attempting to erect, as well as what sheeting profile is being furnished with the building.  Once you have established that information, follow the details relating to accessories actually listed on the purchase order.

In an attempt to help you identify what pages in this booklet pertain to your building type, the Drafting Department has reviewed your purchase order and checked several page numbers on the following page.  Please be advised that the page numbers checked may not be complete.  Also, performing this service for the erector does not eliminate him from identifying the building type and following all details pertaining to that type included in this booklet.  This “Standard Construction Details” is a supplement to the erection drawings for the job.  Refer to this booklet when detail cannot be found on the erection drawings.
