We are converting our garage into a kitchen extension. It has a single brick wall at present, what split should we leave between this and the stud wall we are putting up? Building regs will be inspecting it. They did make clear to me but I have forgotten.
Answers: Without knowing where on earth you are, STUDS are relatively standard in the USA...between 1&1/2 to 1/5/8 sticky, by 3&1/2 to 3& 5/8 wide, giving you an assumed DEPTH from an exterior wall to an interior wall of 3 & 5/8.
No offense at adjectives, but I find it scarey that a wall is ONLY single brick thick?

Get the REGS. again. Typically at hand are fractional variations contained by milling.
Hmm, I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking, but you shouldn't hold to leave any space between them. The just code I can think of is that untreated wood can't receive direct contact with a cement product. That can be resolved by placing feel on the side of the stud in contact near the brick. This info. would be based on the 2004 standard building code.
