Oak framed garage foundations...

[jason61c]

Hi all.

I'm going to have an oak framed garage made, double bay, about 7x6m so will need building regs(its also closer to the road than the house and within 1m of next doors garage).

Regarding foundations, it'll sit on a dwarf wall, some oak frame suppliers say that I basically just need a concrete slab. Others say normal strip foundations with the dwarf wall on top of that.

What's correct? Or what should I expect to do?

When you say oak framed, what do you mean exactly? Got a pic or a link?

Its going to be 2.5 ft from other properties.

Had a very constructive chat with the local building department. Subject to a visit they said I might only need 500mm, this was when I mentioned the house next to it doesn't have foundations and the stone only goes 18" down!!

Better get my spade out.

Do wish people wouldn't use photobucket. This is all I see when I click the thumbnail.

And here at the bottom left is why.

Photobucket is the way forward.

For advertisers, spammers, identity thieves, DDOS merchants etc.

Good luck - you're going to need it.

Yup.

You sit there rolling your eyes while you're using a PC on which you allow absolutely anybody to run scripts without your knowledge.

What could possibly go wrong?

I sit here on a well protected Mac doing it. I have bigger fish to fry in life(for now).

Thank you for your input to the thread/discussion.
