EXTENSION CONSTRUCTION

The site of the proposed extension
is marked out.
The ground is excavated to a
minimum of 600mm deep.
Steel mesh is added and 150mm
concrete poured in.
The inner leaf is built to floor level,
the outer leaf to ground level.
All drainage pipes are then added
and covered with pea gravel.
A minimum of 100mm thick
hardcore is then added and
compacted.
A screed of sand is then added,
again this is compacted level.
This is to prevent the damp proof
membrane from puncturing.
Damp proof membrane is added with
optional 50mm insulation.Steel
mesh is cut and set out ready for
concrete.
The concrete is poured and
screeded, it is then polished
smooth using a large float.
The outer skin is then
built to floor level using
facing brick, the inner skin is
then continued using block.
The outer skin is then
built to the same level
as the inner skin inserting
king span insulation.
The inner and outer skins
are then continued to finished height.
