Building a cabin and now planning to lay chipboard flooring in the loft.
My idea is to install plastic sheeting on the ceiling of the ground floor and then put support beams at 30cc, then insulate the floor/ceiling between levels, and finally lay the chipboard flooring. The roof trusses are at 60cc.
¤ Can we do all this without creating problems for the electrician when he later comes to wire the cabin? He should be able to use the void where we aren't placing flooring right now and use the gables/interior walls.
¤ Do the panel joints need to be staggered? It requires 6.5 panels for width and almost exactly 4 for length. The panels will be purchased at k-rauta and are 22*600*2420.
¤ Can we just screw the panels or do we also have to/should we glue them? (and why if so).
So how should I proceed to avoid redoing anything due to a major miscalculation..

May I request such an instruction at K-rauta then.
And the first question? Can we lay the floor chipboard, screw and glue without messing things up for the electrician? Don't want to have to tear everything up. Mainly a waste of time as we can only build on weekends and the kids' school holidays. I've never built a house from scratch before, so what seems like a logical building order to me might not be.

Don't know how you planned the electrical work, but electricity is usually run in the sparse paneling in the ceiling and in the walls, so it should be fine. If you have someone who will do the electrical work, ask them.
It's just standard electricity that should be installed by a qualified electrician.
I also think they usually use ceilings and walls, so I'll take a chance on that and lay down the floorboards. Since we won't be installing flooring in the attic space right now, you can access under the floor if you really want to. It just becomes a bit more cumbersome.
Thanks for all the answers...
