We are currently planning the construction of a single-family house with a prefabricated house company using timber frame construction.
Now to my question regarding the structural engineering: We want the upper floor to extend over the ground floor in the terrace area. It is important to us that this is technically possible without columns (i.e., no columns in the terrace area). The planner has now said that this will not be possible without columns.
Now to my actual question: Is it possible that this would work better in terms of structural engineering with solid construction, i.e., with bricks, or is there no significant difference between timber frame construction and brick construction in this regard?
Maybe someone can help us here.
Best regards
