Ease of Assembly
Ease of assembly is important because a detail that is a struggle to build is likely to be expensive and will often be executed poorly. This chapter describes various detail patterns that concern ease of assembly. Those patterns include uncut units, minimum number of parts, parts that are easy to handle, repetitious assembly, simulated assemblies, observable assemblies, accessible connections, detailing for disassembly, installation clearance, and nonconflicting systems. One will generally agree that the fewer the number of different parts a detail requires, the more efficient and trouble?free the construction process is likely to be. All other considerations being equal, details that construction workers repeat again are more economical and less error?prone than nonrepeating details. Critical details in an assembly should be observable when they are built. A building should be detailed so its different parts and systems mesh smoothly in three dimensions. It requires the detailer to create reserved zones for each of the systems.
