Skeleton frame works

Magarey Enosh Universe Ltd. employs professional foreign workers in a range of construction skeleton trades. Skeleton frame work is of great importance as it is what gives each building its configuration, including internal partitioning according to architectural pans and construction permits issued for the property and using common engineering principles.

The skeleton works will start after the building foundation casting ends, and will include building of the structure’s walls, preparations for utilities (plumbing, water, sewer lines, electricity, gas, air conditioning, communication, cameras, smart home, etc.) and openings for windows and doors and more.  Skeleton frame work is the foundation of construction and includes building of exterior walls, interior walls, floors, ceilings, roofs, stairs, support beams and columns. As a result it is very important and will produce the building’s final interior and exterior shape and configuration.

What is the importance of skeleton frame work?

High quality, professional and thorough skeleton frame work will yield stability, strength, esthetics and safety and will prevent irreversible construction flaws in the future. The stability level of the building’s skeleton frame will allow it to cope later with weathering. After construction, the skeleton is covered with render casting, cladding, flooring and painting.

In designing the skeleton frame, the engineer will consider loads such as earthquake loads, wind and loads transmitted to the ground itself. The skeleton frame will be built using architectural plans and with the approval of a qualified engineer. The plans are thorough and comply with prescribed standards. High quality raw materials are used.

What are the stages in the skeleton frame construction process?

The stages in the skeleton frame process are construction of the outline, a surveyor who locates the building boundaries, building of piles that serve as foundations for the skeleton by drilling deep into the ground and driving steel members into the bottom of the pits, leaving about a meter protruding above the surface, casting concrete into the pits, which give these “steel cages” stability and strength once the concrete sets. Sometimes, “lean” concrete is used on the surface to form as a substrate for lining sheets that are subsequently applied on the ground or concrete to preserve them for many years of service.

Capping beams connect the structure’s piles together. Casting concrete on the beams will include preparing the wooden molds. The steel is positioned according to plans from the architect / engineer. Building of a shell that effectively positions the cinderblocks forming the exterior walls, building of interior walls that separate the building’s rooms from each other.

Professional, thorough skeleton frame construction is essential and important. The skeleton frame construction process has a pivotal effect on the advanced construction stages such as electricity and water infrastructures, aluminum works, woodwork, rendering, painting and the like, and in general on all finish works that will be made in the building.

For this reason, it is important to choose a professional, skilled and readily available skeleton frame team for performing the skeleton frame construction as continuously as possible to prevent delays in later construction stages.

What are the skeleton frame construction techniques?

Usually, the skeleton frame will be built using a conventional technique. This means building of the structural foundations followed by construction of beams and columns, the concrete floor between stories and building of the walls. Another technique uses steel. The foundations are built, followed by which the concrete floor is cast on it, upon which the skeleton frame will be built. The ceilings will also be made of steel and covered with render. The structure will be clad with render or stone and interior walls will usually be built using plasterboard.

Skeleton frame construction is critical to the construction process!!  Skeleton frame construction work that is lacking in thoroughness may result in defects, some of which will be irreparable at the later stages of construction. If the skeleton frame construction process is not done professionally and according to plan, defects such as deviations from the building height, cracks in structural walls, rust, damp and even concrete failure may occur, which will result in great anguish and unnecessary expenses, up to the need to demolish and rebuild parts of the building.
