Timber Frame Query

stubell

Hi,

Hopefully someone can offer some advice on the following:
We are currently building a timber frame house. It is a traditional
1.5 storey with gable barges.
The blocklayer has raised an issue with the capping for the barges.
Apparently, a concrete capping will not bond to the inner leaf (timber frame) and I am looking for a detail for this or if someone has built or
worked on a timber frame house with barges, we would greatly appreciate
any information.
What type of capping would work in this scenario and who do I contact for further information?
Should I be looking at a lightweight metal capping solution?
