is a fair point... it depends if the BC officer looks at the SE spec and compares it to the built padstone spec... I've seen so many examples of BC inconsistency - from vague OKs, to accepting Pics, to absolutely not accepting a micron of deviation from any rule, reg, drawing etc

indeed! Thanks for the pics - really tricky to find examples of this and drawings online. This could be quite useful in a conversation.

I dont know for this situation... we aren't using an Architect. We made the current mistake of trusting the builder.. The SE said this is usually allowed given the need for it... and the relatively small area in the whole extension (30M sq)_

exactly... should be 215mm insitu cast. It looks like about 200mm combo of 100mm pre cast lintels, concrete blocks and maybe even a cut-down aircrete block... also, the blocks in that stack are at different heights.... Assume he specified insitu as it steel onto nib and into side wall and then...

indeed... every aspect of his quote so far he is now saying how its gonna be more work etc. I think a quote to a drawing for this guy is a finger in the air for something like you've presented...without any real analysis of cost...or planning.... or...... They never asked for dims.... I just...

yeah... my bad.... wrong pic upload... 2am cad work not healthy... attaching correct one! (FFS... doh, )

not a nutter.... just not organised. When you say corners - which ones do you mean?

I think you have completely missed the point and misunderstood the actual situation. I am doing this BECAUSE the builder (who hasn't fled!) is now AFTER quote saying things will cost more due to more cutting to suit position of openings. Hence me asking for Advice as to most efficient layout.

Hi, New here! Not an expert so looking for pointer(s). I have the layout as shown and unsure how to best set blocks for minimum cuts etc... but dont want to go moving walls, windows and piers and changing window sizes more than a few cm as theres reasons.. I have attempted, but unclear about...
