Ive no idea on the engineering/design practicalities but it seems you’re having headaches solving the lintol/depth issues & at the same time losing height & light from your window. Technically, it will work but significant change from the planning drawings, don’t think this will get through a NMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonner Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Just an update to this thread in case it helps anyone else in a similar situation ... To get the wall plate to sit low over the windows, SE approved a 65mm concrete lintel over the cavity wall lintel (1250mm opening). For the 3m opening, we had to get a steel beam made with extended bottom flange to carry the wall plate. The truss manufacturer agreed that the builder can trim as shown and screw plywood plates both sides. Quite a simple solution in the end but a few sleepless nights as a result of poor communication and lack of diligence in checking things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
