Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 11, 2018 8:47 am Dear all, My home lockup stage has just finished and I have a question about the brickwork. As you can see in the images, there is a gap between door frames and brickwork above it. Is this normal and would it be covered at some stage? On the other hand I have not seen this gap between window frames and the bricks above it. Really appreciate your thoughts about this. Thanks.

Only way out of this is to special order doors to work with windows which no hardly no one does.
