    hanging new joists in brick walls

    I'm renovating a property and the floor joists need to be raised up 2 feet on 2 floors. The room is 3m x 5m and is brick built. What is the correct way to hang joists in a room that has already been built? Do i bolt timber on the wall then joist hangers off that or do i get joist hangers that can be attached to the brickwork? Building control will be coming to see it so i want to make sure it's correct. Thank you.
