fixing the batter boards to the site profiling pegs

week 6. we started out to profile our site. this involves pegging the four corners of the site about 1m away from the profile of the house to set up a working area around the building. then fixing batter boards which we will set to match the finished floor level of the house no 124. then stringline between the batterboards to provide the datum from which we will lay out the temporary jack studs. bearers in the form of laminated 190x45mm joists nailed to a specified pattern will then be built on top of the jack studs.
