These sites were great for finding detail on specific measurements of different steel members.

Section 2 of a portal frame. This shows the connection of a portal frame to the side of the building, with a universal beams and girts, there is also further fly bracing for added support. The roof is connected in a similar way with the universal beam attaching to the roof with a universal beam as the rafter, and though not seen in this section, purlins attach the roof to the rafter. Sarking is also shown on the roof and wall, the waterproof membrane to make the structure weatherproof. Kliplok roofing has been used and has been cut through for this section.

This shows how the external skin attach's to the framing. The skin attach's to horizontal steel bars and these are attached to the main framing, the I-Beams. There is fly bracing attached to the universal beams to give the wall extra support and strength. Also in this image it shows that the drain pipes are hidden away. As opposed to having them on the exterior, they run on the inside and run directly parallel with the I-Beam so they are not overly noticed.
