Dormer conversation

[David hackett]

Hi

can any one see any issues with this plan I’ve had done.

I can understand how I don’t have a beam for the ridge with I have the dormer timbers connecting straight to the rafters

You need enough detail and drawings for a builder to be able to build it without guesswork.

 

[David hackett]

I’m just worried that so stuff cannot be done from the drawings

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Do you have structural engineers drawings? Are you doing this on a Notice or as a Full Plans application? Diying or employing a builder?

 

[David hackett]

No I don’t have structural engineering drawings, just architectural drawings showing beam sizes.

This is approved notice work as it’s below 50m2 and also i might to it myself.

im just struggling with no ridge beam to take the load when 99% of dormers have them and not a ridge board

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

You need a structural engineer, your BCO is sure to ask for your structural calcs ....

 

[David hackett]

the architect has used a structural engineer and submitted all of these with the building notice application which is approved.

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

Have you seen any engineers details/calcs? Ask your designer what's holding the ridge up.

 

[David hackett]

No I haven’t, got a couple of questions really as it should have a beam holding the roff up to the dormer
