Hi All,
I had a structural engineer create drawings for a gap of 1m, however our builder actually said that he could go the full 2m wide, so we did that.
He has now advised that we shouldn't call Building Control to come around until the iframe is plastered as it wasn't in our original plans.
Feeling a bit concerned about this - what could Building Control do and will leaving it until its plastered actually help??
Also one more quick question - the builder said if we screeded the floor it would be 8 weeks before we could put a wood floor down on top of it due to the water being absorbed the wood - is this correct? Would a damp proof membrane not stop this?
Thanks in advance!!
