Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 30, 2015 12:10 am I am hoping someone can help us to understand how our brickwork should be. In the garage on the right hand side on the garage/porch wall it has a line through the brickwork and an arrow. It also says c'levered brickwork at 26 courses. Now we have a 960mm steel lintel with brickwork on top of it sticking into our garage from that wall. The lintel would only be in the brickwork 100mm. It sticks out at right angles to the wall right where the line on the plan is. It just looks wrong and a bricklayer we know has no idea what it is for as he said it wouldn't have any strength in it because it is only in the brickwork 100ml and the rest is just hanging pokin into the garage??? We have a building inspector coming tomorrow to check the brickwork but wanted some understanding as before.

I cant read your plans that well but it might be a lintel to carry brickwork return...Although 26c CL is a bit low?

I was just wondering what driveway you went with?? We had chosen pavers from home group and OBF have declined them as they are concrete not clay. Did you have this issue as well at all? What did you use for your driveway ? My Home Group build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77067 Re: Urgent help please 5Jun 19, 2015 12:33 am Hi Koll1 I just popped a note on your thread. We chose clay pavers BUT OBF allow the cement aggregate pavers so they might be worth a look. They were still in our standard range that we could chose with Ventura so might not even be a cost for you to have them. Hope you find something you like. Re: Urgent help please 6Jun 19, 2015 1:21 am Thanks Busso girl What paver company did you go with? We only have 3 paver colour choices with Homegroup that are clay and none of them go with the render colour we have chosen I will definitely have a look at the aggregate pavers. Thanks for the heads up My Home Group build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77067 Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3275 Render your bathroom walls, two opinions versus the one, makes you wonder. 3 6065 thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 16295 |
