Tiivistelmä
Keeping a wooden frame dry is key for a successful building project of multi-storey wood building. A cover system used for such a purpose has high requirements to meet and can play a key role in time, costs and safety of a construction project. This bachelor’s thesis compared two currently used weather cover systems.
The assembly of both systems and the use of one of them was observed and studied. Information was gathered by observing the phases of the project, taking time and interviewing the designated foremen on-site. Installation times of wooden frame elements were discussed and compared between the systems. Differences in costs and safety were also discussed, pointing out the main advantages and challenges of both systems.
The aim of the thesis was to find the advantages and disadvantages of both weather cover systems. The two systems were found to have significant differences in reliability, time efficiency, costs and possibly even in safety. Recommendations for action are given for the main contractor as well as the supplier of the weather cover systems.
