March 2, 20215 yr Good morning new to the forum. currently working on a new build for our family home. Our kit is up and preparing for laying insulation to the floor slab before ufh pipes go down. I notice at the door openings the blockwork sits at the finished floor height. Is this correct or should the block under the openings be removed to let insulation and screed finish with underside of door? It looks like the way it is it would cause a cold spot. Thanks for any advice

March 2, 20215 yr It must be a regional difference in the way things are done. Here, it is normal for the sole plate to be set lower than that, and for at least one of the 150 by 50 timbers to pass without break under the door, usually with a bit of packing to get the door height correct with regard to finished floor level.
