A thought occurred to me... why not nail together a complete framework in correct measurements that is then erected like with new construction?
Instead of fiddling with masonite and other tedious jobs when framing - raise the framework & lift it into place against the house wall, attach it with frame screws or angle brackets at the outermost point & continue.
Has anyone tried?

It is difficult to get it in place because the construction becomes one or a few centimeters too high when you raise it (due to the angle).
Perhaps you can custom-build a new wall that stands completely independently of the existing wall? That's what I did, and where it was simple, I added shims and secured it to the existing wall. This was invaluable when we later installed the kitchen - two walls at the right angle and the walls are perfectly plumb. Before we finally secured the short wall, we also made a square that was 4.5x3 meters.....

There shouldn't be any problem if you make it a bit low. If you, for example, adjust it for two cm of space at the top, it should work. Then you attach it to the ceiling with, for example, the karmskruv and maybe use some fogskum.
The same applies at the bottom. Probably, you might want to level an uneven floor, so it might also take a few mm(cm) for that.

Yes, I regret not doing it inside & then using angle irons for the fixing. No, then I listened to the old school. "This is how you do it." Although it was helpful, but... oh, how everything could have been done simpler - and better! Masonite & split masonites (!) as spacers rule by rule...
In this case, I was actually thinking about the exterior - there will be new cladding. Shouldn't there also be no problem making a complete real construction there either? Or what do you think? Just a little bigger...
