Hi, Everyone, I've started building my 2 storey extension recently.
I will be doing some of the work myself, but most of it will be done by a brick layer.
So far I have dug out my foundations and will be contacting Building control before I begin to pour my concrete.
I have dug down to the clay, and to a depth of 1.2m
I have been told by my brick layer that foundations should be in multiples of 75mm (the height of the bricks.
So... for setting my levels I assume that I go down from my floor levels approximately 900mm and fill the rest with my footings.
this would make my foundations about 400mm thick which is over the required 300mm
does this correct?
