Hi,

I am in the process of getting an extension to a 3 bed semi built around the mid 1950's. The extension consists of 2 extra bedrooms over the garage.

My question is:

The parting wall will not support the extension so it has to be self supporting with steel.
What are the cost difference between building the extension with an internal timber frame with an outside 4 inch cavity as opposed to 2 x 4 inch cavity blocks

Thanks in advance
