Hi All,
I’m trying to figure out the best way of building my rear extension.
Due to the sloping ground I’m thinking of just building a wall approx 6m long. Then using 3m beam and blocks resting on that wall out from the existing kitchen wall. Then, a steel frame with a flat roof with a rubber covering.
However, due to the existing terracing, I’m not sure how I would build the sides as I would like to avoid removing the existing terracing. I was thinking of concrete lintels to act as a bridge?
I’ll have to get a structural engineer involved but I wondered if anyone had any better ideas.
Thanks,
