Single brick with steel frame where still frame is load-bearing is brick veneer. Double brick (with cavity) is structural construction which is not requiring frame, as the internal leaf acts as load-bearing wall. Site survey indicates the levels across the site as well as your house plan together with site survey should be providing information on the heights of cut and fill required. Also, your developer should be providing compaction report, I believe. Cavity brick around the outside/external basically and then the internal walls will be built with steel frame. Does that make sense? Re: Slab engineering for double brick home 16Jul 12, 2020 4:14 pm What is the contour of your building envelope? Looks like you have around 1 meter of fill only near BH2, but near BH1 and BH3 - everything looks quite ok and natural (even with a good chance to hit a rock when excavating near BH1).

Does that make sense? Got it. Internal walls will be built using steel studs. So your house is full masonry and this is why engineer specified deeper footings. Will you be able to provide engineering drawings for your footings?

I’m not entirely sure, would that be something done from a surveyor? We didn’t get that done it wasn’t indicated as needed. I can attach a photo of the building pad?

Take a look a Page 54 and you will your slab itself looks consistent with a Class M / Articulated full masonry construction (albeit with 3-L12TM in your case) As per the other opinions expressed, if it was for my house, I would query the number of piers proposed.
