How many bricks high for an extension to get the corrrect hight?
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.21 PM
How many bricks high is a wall built normally when building an extension is it about 33 bricks high from the top/level of the foundation upwards. My extension would be 3.9 long by 3.7m wide. I can clearly see how many bricks long but can't work out how high? Thank you in advance of your reply
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Assuming single storey extension with a pitched roof under permitted development rules. You would be allowed to build up to 2.5m high at eaves from external ground level which is roughly 32 courses + fascia fixed over end of rafters.
