Hi there,
Can anyone tell me the order of works when building a single storey extension. And which of these builders is right (if any, as it may depend on each builders personal preference as I haven't got a clue!).
Builder1 (B1) says it's ok to use a lintel on a 4.8ish metre opening and hang bi fold doors on and builder 2 (B2) says I need a steel. Who is right or are they both right just different ways of doing the same job?
B1 says I can get the new extension built and water tight before a very large steel is put across the existing back part of house which is a 5.7m span and B2 says I need to have the steel in before the roof can be finished. I'm very confused and want to make sure before anyone is appointed to carry out these works they know what they're doing.
I have a copy of the plans in my album if anyone needs to see them.
Would welcome any tips, advice or answers to these questions.
Thanks
