I am going to be building an extension to the rear of our property - because of the way the ground slopes, gently, front to rear of the property, the ground floor level is quite high at the rear (3-4ft)
I want to avoid having to "make up" a lot of ground in the extension in order to bring the level up. Therefore I want to construct a timber floor (like the other ground floors in the house - it's Victorian) with vented bricks below the floor line.
Question is - are there any building regs relating to insulation and other elements of this design (aside from the correct spec of joist etc which is obvious) Or can construction be largely the same as the Victorians did it?
Many thanks for any help.
