The extension is also lauded as able to answer customers' questions: yes, dry-stacked bricks are load-bearing; they can be built to double-storey height; they can carry a second floor of reinforced concrete; they can accommodate conventional doors and windows; and they can suit conventional roofing and flooring systems. The extension was also a testing ground for Hydraform's trainers. Published on 30 October 2008 |
