We are planning a timber framed 4m x 6m single storey extension. Having not done one before we have a few questions. Our architect is away for a while and we cannot contact him. Im not sure whether he has much experience with timber frame anyway. He provided drawings for the remodel of the main house which were fine and then he did construction drawings for building control relating to the extension. They had a poured foundation and then 150mm cavity. So weve done all that but now when im looking online I am seeing videoes of timber frame construction without a cavity foundation. Just a solid strip of blocks and then a sole plate anchored into that and away they go. We plan to have a timber frame with either a cement type board with render or horizontal planks of some kind as an exterior finish once an architect has drawn that up. I have just had a quick look on youtube etc and i see in this vid these guys just flapped the walls up in no time and bolt throught the DPC into a two rows of solid concrete block and the inspector liked that. Is it as simple as that? Should I fill in the cavity and follow this type of build?
