Cladding on block

[Bonner]

Morning All,

I am looking for ideas to improve a cladding detail on our plans. Just received building control drawings from the architect. The section shown is a timber clad section over the (recessed) main entrance door. It is brick either side so they have replaced the brick with block and put the cladding on that. I would prefer the cladding to be set back from the brick face by 3-4 inches. Is there any way to do that while keeping the inner block in the same line? Thinking timber framing packed with insulation, vapour barrier, then lath and cladding?

You could do exactly that 

You will have to decrease your cavity in that section

Thanks @nod, I will have a word with the architect, definitely don’t want the cladding proud of the brickwork it would look so wrong!

I know exactly what you mean 

You will have to include a tray and vapor barrier also
