Hi, was hoping to get some advise re: a small outbuilding I'm building at the end of my garden.
my footings are going to be 2 m deep since i live in a clay soil area and there is a small tree 1m away.
question is how far below ground level should i start building. SHould i fill the trench to ground level and start building my blockwork from there? if not how far below ground level should my footings stop and my blockwork start (i presume that any building below ground level will be frostproof bricks?)
Thanks for your help.
