Ref #35
First you are concerned with the bearing capacity of the walls, as to building another storey. Then you want a pitched roof as well. I just feel you want to run it down for the sake of it.
You are right about the comparative lifespans of roofs (in their simplest forms) but flat roofs on institution buildings provide flexibility in themselves, potentially reducing future costs when rethinking services.
Why do you assume I know nothing about construction?

There is a big con going on in this country concerning the building industry .
Customers whether they be the taxpayer or individuals, are not getting value for money, they are being sold building that I can only describe as nasty ,in comparison with past building methods .
This is basic price fixing by the big companies, and the architects, poor quality short life building going up all over for big money. And the customer paying totally unaware of what's behind the plaster. There even sticking plastic Chimney on these buildings so people think they are getting a proper house,
Remember the old saying never buy a house without a Chimney; well they got around that on
You can build a house in this country on mass for £67000 not including the land ,
So haw have we got prices of £150,000 minimum??
This is because skewed biding and corruption
We build hospital all the time ,the needs are set it shouldn't be to much for the customers to demands a long life building with a long no maintenance life span ,
Mr dt1 , the admin ,storage supplies could have gone in the roof ,more beds its called value for money , if you notice this hospitals got a hard stand for a scanner , its not in the building ; no room A Polly clinic .

Building methods change usually for the best if they did not we would still be living in old fashioned hovels.
A small thing if there is no need for a chimney why go to the expense of building one but what do I know.

When theirs no gas you cannot burn coal or logs Jan
The chimney and the wall around the stairs give strength to the building, Dover would have fell over in the bombings without them
The only advantage in modem building are thermal, old properties can by upgraded

don't forget thatn tomorrowm is the cut off point for getting your view across, the health trust has commissioned a special computer that government departments and local authorities use to collate the views of the general public.
