Okay, not familiar but I think I see the logic. At this stage I am just trying to do the design before I engage contractors / order materials. I assume you just use standard joist hangers?

With a double joist arrangement am I amble to hang the perpendicular joists to support the roof?

It’s a single skin, but I intend on building a timber stud wall offset by 50mm to form a cavity

Hi, I am looking for the best solution to span across 2400mm doors, supporting roof joists. The building is governed by height, and I am already too high so ideally want a solution where I won’t need a wacking great box section or concrete lintel with joists supported on top. I need 150mm...

Thanks Woody. That’s interesting that I don’t need a cavity… the first detail I ever drew was that of DPM across the floor and up the walls, then batten and hang insulated boards. Everyone I spoke to suggested that I needed a cavity because the walls do get damp (there is no render on the...

Thanks. I suppose I can put in some air bricks top and bottom and/or weep holes? Which DPM arrangement is best?

Best to find them on Instagram / Linkdin I think it’s about £3k for the scanner but the usability is unparalleled from what I have tested

Take a look at Matterport, it’s a photogrammetry unit which works fantastically, they’ve also just released a mount for a mobile phone. Photogrammetry can be converted to a ping cloud but is inherently inaccurate over large surfaces / scans. Try looking at point cloud tech through a BLK360 or...

Hello, I am designing my detached garage conversion, it’s a single skin brick building on a solid raft slab. I’ve had a look on multiple previous posts and cannot find a specific answer. I’ve post here and in the ‘building’ forum, not sure which is best. I am need of advice at the wall/floor...

I would run one cat7, then switch at the end. Cat7 for external environment is about 7.5mm. If you need to run 6, perhaps some conduit coloured to match the wall or plain black.

Hello, I am designing my detached garage conversion, it’s a single skin brick building on a solid raft slab. I’ve had a look on multiple previous posts and cannot find a specific answer. I am need of advice at the wall/floor junction to ensure I do not get damp issues. My design is largely...
