 Template 2: Set out, prepare and erect pitched roof members (Pitched roof 1)

Calculations performed to determine the bevels

To calculate the various bevels for setting out, preparing, and erecting pitched roof members, several
critical measurements and procedures are performed:

Plumb Bevel (Common Rafter): This bevel is calculated using the rise-over-run ratio, which
determines the plumb angle necessary for the rafter to sit correctly on the ridge board. For example,
if the pitch is 30°, the corresponding plumb bevel is set to match the slope.

Plumb Bevel (Hip Rafter): Calculated similarly to the common rafter, but adjusted for the hip rafter's
unique angle, typically requiring additional cuts due to its intersection with the ridge board at an
angle.

Level Bevel (Common Rafter): This bevel defines the horizontal angle between the top plate and the
common rafter. It's crucial to ensure a snug fit between the roof framing members, maintaining the
roof's stability.

Level Bevel (Hip Rafter): The hip rafter bevel is calculated based on the roof's span and pitch,
ensuring the rafters meet at the ridge with precise cuts.

Edge Bevel (Creeper Rafter): The edge bevels are calculated by determining the angle where the
creeper rafters intersect the hips, ensuring accurate length adjustments.

Edge and Face Bevel (Purlin): These bevels are calculated based on the roof pitch and the angle at
which the purlin spans across the roof structure.

Each bevel is determined using standard methods like the steel square, ensuring all cuts fit perfectly
and align with the roof design. These calculations ensure structural integrity and alignment in the
final roof construction

 Calculations performed to set out pattern rafter with a birdsmouth to length, allowing for
overhang and creeper reductions.

To set out a pattern rafter with a birdsmouth to length, including allowances for overhang and
creeper reductions, the following calculations are performed:

1. Rafter Length Calculation:

o First, determine the span of the roof (distance between the walls).

o Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the hypotenuse (rafter length), where the

Unit Code: CPCCCA3006 Page 42 of 98

 rise (height of the roof) and half the span serve as the legs of the triangle.

o Formula: Rafter Length = √(Rise² + (Span/2)²). For example, if the rise is 2.5 meters
and half the span is 4 meters, the rafter length is √(2.5² + 4²) = 4.72 meters.

2. Birdsmouth Cut:

o The birdsmouth cut is placed at the point where the rafter sits on the wall plate. The
depth of the birdsmouth is generally 1/3 the depth of the rafter.

o To ensure a secure fit, the horizontal distance between the seat cut and the heel cut is
calculated based on the slope of the roof.

3. Overhang Calculation:

o Overhang is the portion of the rafter extending beyond the wall plate to form the
eaves. It is typically 600mm to 900mm, depending on the design.

o Total rafter length is the sum of the calculated rafter length plus the desired overhang.

4. Creeper Reductions:

o Creeper rafters, which run from the hip to the eaves, are shortened by the same
method, reducing the length incrementally as they approach the ridge.

By following these steps, the pattern rafter is accurately cut to length, ensuring proper alignment and
fit.

Unit Code: CPCCCA3006 Page 43 of 98

 Calculations performed to calculate the lengths for hip and valley rafters from the pitch of
the roof.

To calculate the lengths for hip and valley rafters based on the pitch of the roof, the following steps
and calculations are performed:

Determine the Pitch of the Roof:

The pitch (slope) of the roof is expressed as the ratio of the rise (vertical height) over the run
(horizontal distance). For example, if the rise is 4 meters and the run is 10 meters, the pitch is 4:10 or
0.4.

Hip Rafter Length Calculation:

The hip rafter runs at a diagonal from the corner of the building to the ridge. To calculate its length,
the diagonal distance must be found.

Formula: Hip Rafter Length = Common Rafter Length × √2. This is derived from the fact that the hip
rafter runs at a 45-degree angle to the common rafters.

For example, if the common rafter length is 4 meters, the hip rafter length is 4 × √2 = 5.66 meters.

Valley Rafter Length Calculation:

Unit Code: CPCCCA3006 Page 44 of 98

 Similar to the hip rafter, the valley rafter also runs diagonally from the eaves to the ridge. The same
principles apply, with adjustments based on the roof’s angle.

The valley rafter is often longer than the hip rafter because it extends further into the roof’s structure.

Adjustments for Roof Pitch:

Both hip and valley rafters are affected by the pitch of the roof. Steeper

 Template 2: Set out, prepare and erect pitched roof members (Pitched roof 2)

Calculations performed to determine the bevels

Plumb Bevel (Common Rafter):

 This angle is determined based on the pitch of the roof. For a 6:12 roof pitch, the angle of the
plumb bevel can be calculated using the arctangent function.

Level Bevel (Common Rafter):

 The level bevel is the angle between the horizontal plane and the rafter along the run.

Plumb Bevel (Hip Rafter):

 For hip rafters, the bevel is adjusted for the 45-degree angle of the hip. Multiply the common
rafter's plumb bevel by 1.414 to account for the diagonal span.

 Edge Bevel (Creeper Rafter):

o The edge bevel for creeper rafters involves a reduction proportional to the length of the
creeper from the hip to the ridge. It is based on the roof pitch and spacing of rafters.

 Face and Edge Bevels (Purlins):

o For purlins, the face and edge bevels are determined based on their placement in the
roof plane and typically match the angles of the common rafters for consistency.

 Calculations performed to set out pattern rafter with a birdsmouth to length, allowing for
overhang and creeper reductions.

1. Total Rafter Length Calculation:

 The total rafter length is the length from the ridge to the fascia (wall plate), including the
overhang.

 Span (horizontal distance): Distance between the ridge and wall plate (half the total span for a
pitched roof).
 Rise (vertical distance): Vertical height from the wall plate to the ridge.

Unit Code: CPCCCA3006 Page 48 of 98

  Overhang: The portion of the rafter extending beyond the wall plate (typically around 450 mm).

Example Calculation: If the span is 4 meters and the rise is 3 meters:

. Birdsmouth Cut:

 The birdsmouth cut involves cutting out a notch where the rafter sits on the top plate of the
wall.

 The length of the birdsmouth is typically calculated as 1/3 of the rafter depth, as per AS 1684
standards.

3. Creeper Reductions:

 Creeper rafters, which fill the space between the hip rafters and the ridge, need to be reduced
proportionally. The reduction is based on the spacing of the creeper rafters and the angle of
the hip.
 Each creeper's length is shortened by the spacing multiplied by the cosine of the roof angle.

Example Calculation: If creepers are spaced 600 mm apart and the roof angle is 30°:

Unit Code: CPCCCA3006 Page 49 of 98

 Calculations performed to calculate the lengths for hip and valley rafters from the pitch of
the roof.

1. Hip Rafters Length Calculation:

Hip rafters run from the ridge to the corners of the roof, creating a diagonal angle. The length of hip
rafters can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem.

Run: Horizontal distance from the ridge to the point where the hip rafter meets the top plate (half the
span for one side of the roof).

Rise: Vertical distance from the top plate to the ridge.

If the run is 4 meters and the rise is 3 meters:

2. Valley Rafters Length Calculation:

Valley rafters are used where two roof planes intersect and form a valley. The length is typically
determined similarly to the hip rafter, but also accounts for the intersection of the two roof planes.

Unit Code: CPCCCA3006 Page 50 of 98

  Horizontal Distance Between Valleys: The distance from the ridge to where the valley rafter
meets the top plate.

 Height of Valley: Vertical distance from the top plate to the valley

Additional Notes:

 Ensure that both hip and valley rafters are cut to the correct bevel angles to ensure proper fit
and alignment.

 The lengths calculated are for the rafters themselves; allowances must be made for any
overhangs or adjustments for intersections at the ridge and plate.

Low risk: Acceptable risk and no further action required as long as risk has been minimised as possible. Risk needs to be reviewed periodically.
Moderate risk: Tolerable with further action required to minimise risk. Risk needs to be reviewed periodically.
High risk: Tolerable with further action required to minimise risk. Risk needs to be reviewed continuously.
Critical risk: Unacceptable risk and further action required immediately to minimise risk.
Catastrophic: Unacceptable risk and urgent action required to minimise risk.

Risk controls

The hierarchy of control can be used as an effective tool to deal with health and safety issues at work. Use the type of control suggested as measures
to deal with the hazard. Aim to use control measures from as high on the hierarchy of control list as possible. If that is not possible, the next option
down the list or a combination of the measures should be implemented. The least effective control measure is the use of personal protective
equipment (PPE), and it should be used as a last resort or support to other control measures. Information and training should be integrated with all
levels of control to explain how controls work.

1. Eliminate – if it is possible, the hazard should be removed completely.

For example, get rid of dangerous machines.

2. Substitute – replace something that produces the hazard with something

that does not produce a hazard. For example, replacing solvent-based
paint with water-based paint. Risk assessment on the substitution must
be conducted to ensure that it will not pose another hazard.

3. Engineering control – isolate a person from the hazard by creating a

physical barrier or making changes to process, equipment or plant to
reduce the hazard. For example, install ventilation systems.

4. Administrative control – change the way a person works by establishing

policies and procedures to minimise the risks. For example, job
scheduling to limit exposure and posting hazard signs.

5. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) – protect a person from the

hazard by wearing PPE. For example, wearing gloves, safety glasses,
hard hats and high-visibility clothing. PPE must be correctly fitted, used
and maintained to provide protection.
