Assessment 2
Title: Build a partial timber wall frame for a house.

Apprentice name: Group number:

You will be required to build a partial timber wall frame in a place arranged with your assessor. The
bracing will meet the calculations you have already completed in Assessment 1.

Please note on following pages:


• plan
• specifications
• standards and tolerances which your assessor will check when you finish.

You will need to fill in the:


• JSA
• estimating and costing sheet
• tools and equipment table.

You will build the wall frame.

Your teacher/assessor will observe you building the wall frame and may ask you questions about the
work you are doing. They will then fill in the assessment record sheet.
