Hi all,
As a continuation of investigating a single story extension versus 2 story extension (in another section of this forum), I'm wondering if there is a significant difference in wall frame and slab design between these two structures.
My current frames are 90 x 45 oregon with 600 mm stud spacings. The house is single brick vaneer and it has a colourbond roof. The planned second story is of the same construction. I'm still trying to discover the engineering detail for the slab.
In general and for this type of construction, are major mods required to the existing footings and frames?
I'm off to my structural engineer guy next week (once I complete my initial plans) but I'm curious of the experience of others.
Cheers, Andrew
