Hi All
I am having a single storey extension done in my mid terrace house under permitted rules. So 3 metres out and up to 4m high. My architect has said I need a box frame put in as the back wall of the house will be knocked through so it needs the weight supported.
I have showed the plans to two different builders and they have said this frame is not needed as its over cautious and single beam above with columns on either side of the side walls would provide enough support which would reduce my costs considerably.
Will the single beam be ok?
Any helpful advice is needed.
Thanks in advance.
