Hi All
Im currently digging out the footings for a rear extension. The ground height outside sits at one brick course below DPC. I have then dug down and found 3Brick courses and two block courses to the foundations of the original house. I have dug down a little past the foundation say 400mm at the moment. so In total the strip is at about 1m+ at the moment. My question is the builder has stated to dig the foundations to 450mm by 1100mm and wait for building control to inspect them. Now does this mean 1100 from the top of the foundation?
Thanks in advance as I know this has been asked a millions times before
