Garage Extension - Insulation & Door Reveal Detail

[machineage]

Just a quick question regarding the construction / insulation detail for a garage extension & change of use proposal.

I am proposing to extend my existing attached garage - and apply for a change of use to a part of the existing garage into a habitable space.

The existing garage wall is 9" brick. I intend to insulate the COU space internally - and follow this though into the garage space to keep me a least a little but warm in the winter

To maintain the insulation without break - I intended to match the construction for the new wall forming the garage extension. I'm assuming this would be accepted by BC? I'm just a little confused about the detail for the garage door reveals with respect to the insulation. Would this be the correct way to detail this aspect?

Yes, that will be OK.

You have a bit of insulation there at the reveal, so it will do

I intend installing a sectional garage door - the channels of which sit on the inside wall - so I guess it would look something like this?

On the other side of the door a slim wall will need to be built which will abut to an existing cavity wall. How should this be detailed to reduce cold bridging? This isn't the best solution I guess...
