    Give the contractor a pair of glasses. He should have stopped after a few blocks were laid.

    Not even close! Rip them all up and start again.

    I don’t disagree. All I’m saying is that I am aware that BC may wish to get involved.

    Check this out. Had an application recently where the applicant wanted to rip out previously approved work. Ended up being a structural alteration for which the applicant needed to submit an application to BC. A bit petty but BC insisted an application - and fee - was submitted.

    Pity. We have a fantastic rep who bends over backwards to get us the correct information.

    British Gypsum website will have everything you need. Plus the local rep will bend over backwards to help you if you can find out who is in your area.

    What on earth is your foundation supporting? 4 rows of mesh…..😳😳😳 Whoever specified the mesh should be able to tell you exactly where it should be located.

    Didn’t she sing in Bucks Fizz?

    Not convinced.

    DPC should discharge below the lintel.
  14. ETC
    Why is the DPC discharging to the outside ABOVE the lintel?

    That’s because the whb can impede on the space as long as its wall hung without floor support or a pedestal - hence not impeding access.

    Are you looking for 30minutes FR for a wall supporting a floor above?

    Why don’t you like plasterboard?

    Can you put numbers on the elements?

    I agree. The plans that you have are fine. Make a Building Notice Application showing the new steelwork. Just add a note to say that the steelwork will be fire protected to achieve 1/2hrfr. And bye the way - show a door into the kitchen from the hall.

    Getting very contrived.
  23. ETC
    While a fire engineered solution may be acceptable to BC having the kitchen open to the floors above is - in my opinion - dangerous. Consider a scenario where smoke from a fire on the ground floor rises - the parents are in their bedroom and the children are in theirs. All rooms have fire escape windows but a parent will always want to get to their children in an emergency and this could mean entering a smoke filled hallway.

    Christ almighty……a bit anal…..

    It won’t make any difference.
