Something a bit different... 😉

A new driveway that I've recently constructed in Dutch pavers for top architect Tom Allen on his amazing house on Adbolton Grove in Ladybay, Nottingham.

Constructed to Tom's exact design off his architects plans that he created for me to interpret and create what he wanted.

The edge restraints to the planter areas are pavers left racked back for gravel to be run into the pavers from the plater areas at a later date.

Driveway P**n 🧱🧱🧱

The Grande Finale 🎆🎇

Here's the completed exterior of the Box family extension project, another labour of love from start to finish 🧱🧱💚

Many thanks to all trades involved with this project and with special thanks to my building inspector Ruth Smith and my Structural Engineer Dan in helping me redesign and deliver this project to my lovely clients and now good friends, the Box family in Bottesford.

All materials supplied by Adam Molnar at John A Stephens Ltd 🧱🧱

The next phase of the construction of the Box family rear ground floor house extension was the construction of the GRP roof with an internal guttering system 🧱

I planned the internal guttering system with the drainage (soakaway) position in mind 🧱

So I left the downpipe brackets fixed on packers to the finished thickness of the proposed finished cladding. Then I positioned the bottle gulley below so that my GRP men could finish the internal guttering outlet into the downpipe to perfection "Propper Planning Prevents Poor Performance" 🧱

The thickness of the finished upstand/fascia depth was kept to an absolute minimum for good aesthetics. This was planned on roof construction with my cousin the joiner Charlie Duffy and worked in accordance with building controls specifications for the minimum thickness of the cantilevered roof joists projection outwards from the external skin of blockwork 🧱

The next phase of the Box family rear ground floor extension was the construction above DPC level of the masonry superstructure. This consisted of 3.5N Fibolite breezeblocks on the internal skin and 7.3 Stranlite blocks on the external skin with 100mm full fill cavity insulation inbetween 🧱

The cantilevered flat roof structure was constructed for me by my cousin Charlie Duffy. Charlie used 8x2 timbers in 6 meter lengths then notched over the blockwork outerskin and reduced the timber thickness to building controls specifications, to reduce the depth of the upstand/fascia once the PIR insulation and GRP is installed above the roof joists 🧱

The next process on the Box family extension project was the installation of my new steel design, which would deliver the Box's the "lined through" ceiling into their new open plan house extension that they so much desired (and understandably so!!!) 🧱

Heres the photos of the process of my work and the installation of my steel design, validated with calcs by a structural engineer and inspected by the lovely Ruth Smith of 🧱

So the Box family clients in Bottesford went ahead with the project and heres the process of my work, from the excavation of the foundations to the construction of the rear ground floor house extension upto dpc and the installation of the concrete finished floor 🧱

The foundations were inspected before concreting by Ruth Smith of and then the construction of the build upto DPC inspected and signed off before the installation of the concrete finished floor and the construction of the main blockwork superstructure above DPC level 🧱

Heres the planning of a rear ground floor extension project that I executed and completed for the Box family in Bottesford at the beginning of 2021 🧱

Unfortunately the clients weren't completely in love with the architects design that they'd previously had done a few years prior.

Also the clients had their hearts set on the existing ceiling lining through with the new extension ceiling.

Unfortunately the structural engineer produced a design which composed of a goal post set up with a 300mm flat plate welded onto the top beam which picked up underneath and supported the first floor joists of the house thus creating a bulkhead much to the clients dismay.

The structural engineer (who was soon due to retire even replied with a volatile email to the clients response to his design)

So when the clients approached me and told me their story I told them to sketch me out what they really wanted and so they did.

As they'd already paid out big from their budget on on expensive Architects drawings for a design they just didn't like, I reworked their dream design into something as near as possible that I knew would meet building regs as a happy medium to what building control would require and to that of the clients design preference.

I reccomended the lovely Ruth Smith at to work alongside me to deliver my design and meet building regs requirements.

To speed up the process, I redesigned the steels myself and commissioned a new structural engineer to go over my design and give me the calcs to legally validate my design and installation with building control.

My steel design incorporated a more traditional steel setup with two UB steels bolted together with cavity spacers. The 1st steel would pick up the internal blockwork/ joist ends (which would be notched into the web of the steel) with a boot plate & web stiffeners welded underneath to further catch the underside of the ceiling joists! The second steel would pick up the external brickwork skin and the two steels bolted together.
