CHAPTER 3: FLOWCODES, ABBREVIATIONS AND CONSTRUCTION TERMS
Flowcodes Steel-frame houses are revolutionizing the affordable residential building landscape, and Flowcodes are revolutionizing QR code technology. In this book we use Flowcodes, which are similar in purpose to QR codes, to direct you to additional information. Simply scan the Flowcode with your smartphone camera, and your smartphone will display the additional information we want you to see. Flowcodes are more reliable and responsive than traditional QR codes, giving you faster, more direct connections to information. We use Flowcodes particularly for the examples of our property designs and construction details, giving you easy access to useful, up-to-date information without having to read through pages of information that may not be relevant. Abbreviations and Terms For many of you, steel-frame properties may be a new concept, and with that comes new terminology. In addition, because steel-frame properties can be built by someone with competent do-it-yourself skills, there may well be a number of construction-related terms you find unfamiliar. While FrameUpNow is a North American company, its 25 designs for steel skeletons for residential properties are available worldwide. Consequently, this book tries to use generally accepted construction terms that are recognised globally.
