Ask your QuestionHi looking to build a single story extension (timber frame with a flat roof, can anyone advise what depth footing I will need? The dimensions are 4mx5m just costing it all up atm
Thanks
"The minimum footing that building regulations allow on single story extension it 350mm but each footing is taken on the merits of the land condition ie boggy ground or trees in close location to the build but your building inspector weather it’s council or private will advise you on the correct method he will want your builder to use"
