Try harder why? You can fit doorframes as you see fit. I never said you couldn't, just that i can't see the point, especially if the ground clearance is only 150mm to start with as most buildings are. The original post asked if their bricky had made a mistake and i think not. You may think...

Looks like we posted at the same time and are broadly in agreement.

I was taught that if a building has a solid floor, then the dpc should be level with this and the dpm brought up and tucked under the dpc. The recent part M introduction has muddied the waters somewhat, but that can be catered for by fitting low thresholds, so why bother dropping the door a...

Yes, building regs will apply to the roof. They will want to make sure you use the correct size timbers and insulate and ventilate to current regs and that the tiles are adequate for the roof pitch. They may also want to know that any extra load you are adding is adequately supported by the...
