A method of securing a metal cladding framework to a building comprises the step of securing horizontal and vertical rails of the framework to an array of screw threaded tie bar ends 12 projecting from the wall of the building. A fixing plate 14 having a slot 16 and a profiled outer face is placed over each tie bar. A locking plate 18 having a circular hole 20 and a complementary profiled inner face is placed over the tie bar and can mate with the fixing plate in a number of positions. The fixing and locking plates are secured to each other by threading a holding nut 28 onto the tie bar. The rails of the framework are secured to the fixing or locking plates by an array of bolts 30 connecting each rail to each fixing plate. The complimentary profiles may be in the form of corrugations or dowels. The slots in the fixing plates may be vertical or horizontal slots, the horizontal slots being formed in laterally extending wings of the fixing plates.
