ads Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Hi All, As the title says, I'm a structural engineer. Must confess most of my background is in £ms projects, but will help where I can. As with most people I've dabbled in resi helping out friends, family and colleagues with their domestic stuff for a bit of cash on the side in my youth. I also designed my own double storey side extension and internal refurb in the past. I've also got friends who work for NHBC and BC. I'm afraid my own build ambitions are less Grand Designs and more just a small 1st floor extension. So I will be here with a few questions of my own. But you seem a friendly knowledgeable bunch and I will repay with some help along the way for others. Right, off to post a load of questions on other threads!

Dave Jones Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 hi! how about your recommendation for a steel setup for a 5m bifold, 150mm cav normal brick/block build that minimises thermal bridging ? e.g. no welded bottom plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
