The floor plate holes on the panels must be drilled. Once you have raised and secured the panel to the adjacent panel, drill a hole in the concrete foundation using a hammer drill and install the provided Hold Down Bracket at each corner of the bottom plate, along with the stiffener where needed. Secure them with the provided Titen anchor bolts and washers, but do not tighten them just yet. In case of a wood floor, use the appropriate screws provided in your kit, but do not tighten them just yet.
Tighten only when you are certain that the exterior walls are square. Soon the frame will begin to take shape. After you raise the interior panels, check them for square. Continue the frame assembly, building room after room, panel after panel.
