You can do either brick veneer or double brick it really doesn't matter. I'd probably frame up the inside and line it with villaboard or blue board after any rough in is completed. Fix off brick ties to the frame and brick up the external. If you really want to do a good job get the brick layer to ...

@NavyLion What is at the top of the opening? Is it a lintel with brick, a timber beam or what? You obviously have your slab across the bottom and bricks up both sides it's a pretty simple conversion.

Single Brick will be fine, but if you're planning on a window, then you're going to need to frame it out. A bifold window into a narrow passage looking onto a fence seems like a waste of money and luxury though. If you do go a bifold, make sure that there is enough room for it to open out. Less pan...

We opted out because W landscaper thought we will be okay for timber deck. Council refused timber deck due to BAL rating. I...
