KAZAAD Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 Hi all, I am preparing construction drawings for building control approval for a client who obtained planning permission for a 1 bedroom property in London. He passed these drawings from another architect and one of the features includes a diagonal gradient wall on the side elevation and tried to figure out whether its solid wall or timber frame cladding. I don't think the engineer has provided any detailed drawings but I attached my interpretation of the section detailing between the wall, flooring and parapet wall. It would be great to seek advice on this matter. Detailed Sketch.pdf
TommoUK Posted August 20, 2024 Posted August 20, 2024 ..guess you would need a cranked steel unless you have a ridge beam to work with? if its a mansard roof seem bizarre they've used a full brick and not a roof tile or slate?

I attached the section drawing with elevations and this is what the proposals look like where there is a wall which should be a cavity wall not a mansard roof.

TommoUK Posted August 21, 2024 Posted August 21, 2024 ..the drawing is showing a full brick. A brick slip might be the best option or go back for a minor amendment and use tiles or slates
