Everything is stripped down to the brick wall.

How do you build up with an air gap, studs, ledger, wind barrier, insulation, plastic .....

How do you attach the barrier to the studs?

Do you build the wall with the barrier lying on the floor and then raise it up, or how do you do it?

Do you let the barrier hang down under the floor and up over the ceiling?

Möglestopp, what are your thoughts on that?
 
Yes, clarify with pictures and you might get an answer.......
Your question is very unclear.
If you have a brick wall, you probably don't need windproofing, and it's probably not optimal to erect a wooden stud wall on the inside.
Either steel studs or building up with inorganic material like brick, leca, or lightweight concrete. :x

Can you see and understand my question based on this image?
 
Were you planning to frame this wall with wood? :wow:
 
Hi

Thank you for responding. It's a construction company that tore down, why do you mean it can't be done?

Even if it has been wood before, that doesn't mean it's the correct approach.

Certainly, wood can work, but why involve wood in a stone building, with all the risks that may entail, such as mold, etc.

If you're going to start over, it's better to use the best imaginable material ;) ... and it's not wood in a brick building! See previous posts.

What can you demand? Well, if you're the owner, you can demand anything, even gold leaf on the walls.... as long as you're willing to pay.

Are there circumstances in the matter that you haven't mentioned since you're wondering what you can "demand"?

Aren't you the one who decides or ...?

Thank you for the response.

Yes, I am the builder.

I am sending a picture of how it looked before.
The house was completed in 70, there is no moisture or mold in the house.

I wonder what I can "demand" from the construction company I hired to do the work, I mean to build correctly? The circumstances are if too much has been torn down and what that might entail.

Interior wall stripped to studs and insulation, showing removed sections, with visible brick behind and exposed ceiling joists.

Is it renovation that's happening, or some other reason for the demolition? It should otherwise be specified what is to be done and maybe even how. But if you have a construction company, as previously mentioned, they should put up new frames but not with wood :)
 
What are you going to do......and why?
 
F
Feels a bit creepy, just push a little on a wall and the whole house collapses...

I am going to renovate a space that has been a small kitchen, bedroom, and living room into a large room for my son; the room will be about 24 sqm.

The idea is to insulate in the best way, can anyone elaborate on what is the best way when there is now a brick wall as an exterior façade?

I have temporarily halted the renovation.

Grateful for answers.

If it had been me, I would have (most simply) set up a metal stud wall with an air gap to the brick at least 20 mm.
Insulated to the desired thickness and covered with cement boards (fermacell or equivalent), - no moisture barrier - no paper-clad plasterboards.

or built an inner wall of lightweight concrete, leca (10-15 cm), or similar and possibly insulation (rock wool) of desired thickness in between.
I would also periodically fix anchors so that the brick wall and inner wall are anchored to each other for better stability. Naturally, the inner wall should be reinforced every 3rd or 4th course according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Make sure that the brick wall (outer facade) has open head joints in the 1st and 2nd courses, about 0.5-0.75 cm apart, for ventilation of any water that penetrates through bricks or joints that are loose or saturated from persistent rain.

Speced are air gap, wind barrier, studs, bearer, insulation 145*45, vapor barrier, OSB, gypsum, wallpaper ....
 
I thought the regulations carried trusses and tiles were just a surface layer, but here they've torn away all the wood? (But I assume tiles should be able to bear a lot.)

There were no studs directly under the trusses distributing the force down to the ground?

When the house was completed in 1970, the roof was flat, then a roof elevation was done directly on the existing roof. So the construction you see in the picture supports a flat roof.

I also have many questions about how it works technically in terms of construction, how one can demolish and how to rebuild (renovation).

There are external corner studs that might be there to relieve.

Thank you for your engagement.
