I have an existing suspended wooden floor that needs to be merged into an extension concrete base. The finished product will be an engineered wood floor seemlessly covering both.
I am in the process of making sure the sub wood floor is perfectly level using packing pieces under the joists where it rests on the brick work.
The concrete is a few mil lower than the sub wood floor. Idea being that I use self-level to bring it up to exactly the right level and make it a little smoother.
The final floor will be an engineered, click system, floating on an underlay.
My problem is the old external wall (the two course of brick). Do I bridge over this with some 20mm (approx) ply wood or something else?

I'm building up the old external wall to the correct level and putting a board across it. Getting it level might be tricky though. Then using self-level screed on the concrete to get it up to the correct level. Does this sound like a plan?
