Stud wall or Brick wall for ground floor extension bathroom shower?

moneyspending

I would prefer single brick wall but builder is suggesting stud wall with cement sheet...

The outer cavity wall is already done with brick outer and blocks inside. The internal wall is between bedroom, utility, study and shower. Should this be a single brick wall or stud wall with cement sheets for water proofing?

What are you forming? The shower or the whole bathroom?

Your the one paying the bill, although if you employ an expert and then ignore their advice........

Sorry but this is a post with way too little info.

You need to paint a clearer picture before anyone can help.

As an aside, nothing is single brick to the outside today, but in certain garage conversions the reqd U value can be achieved with clad on insulation

BUT, there is nothing in what you have said that would pass building regs???

Apologies, you are right, added some more info.

Id go for timber stud with cement board or plasterboard and tanking membrane. Ensure the stud is packed with noise reduction insulation

Thanks, noise reduction insulation is good point.
