Hello.

where can I find info in acceptable wall chasing. In other words, what can be done in terms of depth and length in a brick wall without causing structural damage. Im looking in OSG by beam holes and notches but can't seem to find what info im after.
THANKS

Is it not in the OSG too ? I'm sure I have seen it in there before. Or maybe I'm thinking of a part of the building regs ?
From memory it's 1/3 depth of wall vertical and 1/5 horizontal..... but please check that !
