    Hi

    I have an existing Dormer Bungalow. The wife is now looking to build a small back kitchen circa 8ft * 12 ft which can be accessed from outside as well as inside. The purpose of this room will be to have a shower/ toilet which can be accessed from outside, a washing machine/ area to dry clothes, storage area, place to put clothes which are used for gardening etc.

    The difficulty is all around the house is tarmaced, so this would cause a lot of work digging up tarmac etc to put down foundations.

    I am wondering would it be possible to leave tarmac as is, not put in foundations, instead, dig 4 holes and put down 4 RSJs in each corner of new structure and block walls into each RSJ.

    wOULD THIS WORK

    Hi, you need to read the main forum charter which states
    1.5 Structural items . Issues relating to the specification of structural components is prohibited. Any queries in this regard need to be dealt with by an architect/engineer privately.

    Accordingly your query cannot be addressed here. You will need to employ a structural engineer privately and carry out the works as per his design & spec.

    Thread locked.
