Surveyors and structural engineers use data from tables below to help calculate the size of timbers necessary to give adequate support to timber floors.
Timber to be covered these span tables do not apply to timber which is fully exposed to the elements.

For pitched roofs flat roofs and ceiling joists.
Where the tables do not apply or where there are concentrated loads floor joists should be designed by an engineer in accordance with technical requirement r5.

These tables can help calculate whether floor joists are strong enough to support themselves and the load they carry without the help of any walls underneath.
Surveyors span tables for designing roof rafters.
Surveyors and structural engineers utilise data from tables below to help calculate the correct size strength and centres of roof timbers for the required spans and loadings.
