Any timber frame experts in the house
Discussion
I should really should know the answer to this but i'm doubting myself.
We were talking to the sales person at a local housing development and were asking about adding an extra external door.
The response was that it couldn't be done as it was timber frame.
Now to my mind it wouldn't make any difference to an extra door in a brick & block wall. I think it was more a case of the kit manufacturers structural designs would need to be altered and their structural warranty affected. Am I wrong? Could an additional external door be installed at a later date?
THanks

Thanks everyone, confirmed, my suspicions.
The Developer will have commissioned "X" number of kits and wouldn't want the problem of getting one amended or invalidating the design calcs.
The salesperson is probably just covering herself by saying no variations.
Remember back 20+ years ago, it cost me a variation fee for the builder at the time to NOT paint the staircase and NOT tile the kitchen
