hi all
im new to the site but always find myself directed back here when searching for info on the net so thouight id sign up to clear a few things up in my own project that i plan on doing as much of the work myself on to keep the costs down!
the extension will just be the standard 3m on building regs
iv had a plan and calcs done for the steels to make the back of the house open plan consisting of 2 posts and a beam to support the rear of the house and then bolted to that anopther beam and a post in the centre of the house to support the upstairs joists
now i wanted to do the footings and underpin what i can, then build shell for the extension, then break through, dig for the posts and then pour concrete for that and install the steels...can someone confirm that this is the correct order or should all concrete go in at once thus meaning the house will be in pieces at the back until shell is built to make watertight again?
im trying to avoid the mess and disruption where possible!
cheers in advance for any advice!!!
