I think it was more me not understanding the calculation, there is a lot of information on them most of which may as well be a different language.

Just spoken to my structural engineer and has told me just to lay three courses of class B engineering bricks. So that has saved me some money.

Thanks will speak to my structural engineer tomorrow, I just thought you rocked up to a builders merchant and bought one off the shelf. Will the building inspector want a data sheet for the padstone?

Thanks for the reply, the other issue I have is that the original house is a 73mm brick height so 83 with mortar and the other side will be resting on metric size blocks. I can’t understand why they don’t sell imperial blocks it has caused me so many problems with levels.

The structural engineer that did my beam calculation has specified 660x100x3 courses Padstones but I cannot find a builders merchant that sells them in this size any ideas welcome.
