Planning a machine hall construction and thinking of building ready-made wall blocks on the ground and then raising them with a tractor.

Some thoughts that came to mind.

Do you mount a sill on the slab which you then fasten the wall blocks into? There will be a "sill" on each block, meaning you get double layers of "sill".

How do you handle weatherproofing? Do you live with the seams on the blocks without weatherproofing or how do you do it?

How wide can the blocks be? I have a tractor to lift them into place so the weight might not be too critical. Mostly thinking about what is the most suitable format to work with.

I assume you build a "jig" to manufacture the blocks in so they are exactly the same every time.

Does anyone have some pictures and tips on how to build wall blocks?
 
I have built wall blocks that were 11m long without problem, just make sure to splice the wall plate and sill at different places. d^_^b One sill is sufficient. What type of wind protection are you going to use, boards or fabric? One option is to place a regular sealing strip on the standing studs at the joints. I just laid some logs level as a foundation, just be careful to meet the diagonal.

Agree with Matti, one sill is enough. If you have space, you can screw through the sill into the concrete, but if you're going to attach panels first, it becomes difficult :D then you'll have to do what we do at my job when mounting the blocks. We have a special angle iron (can't remember what it's called) but it gets bolted to the slab, and then you screw the wall into it. Just don't forget the sill paper so that moisture doesn't creep up into the wall. If you plan to use wind paper as a wind shield, you should pull it out about 20 cm outside the block and then overlap it on the paper on the next block. After that, nail a clamp strip of suitable dimension and nail it at the seam to seal the fabric tightly against the wall. If you plan on having panels, leave one panel 20 mm outside and start the next one 20 mm into the next wall, and it will automatically be tight.
 
7X2.50 traveled we two men without problems so 11 meters is definitely doable. We built the entire block on the ground and attached sill bands as well. Cross-measuring is, as mentioned, important and when it's good, set a number of braces that lock the block before you lift it. A tip is to recess a beam vertically just under the wall plate. Screwed together with just the wall plate, you get a substantial stiffening of the entire construction and a solid attachment for the wall studs at the top.
