Why did the walls in a traditional masonry bearing wall structure need to be so thick?
What do you mean by 'masonry beariing wall'. A wall can be made of masonry. The part of a building which is weight bearing, is the foundation. What do you mean by thick Iowl der. Masonry walls are usually 10 cm thick, because this was thought to be a very practical thickness if building brick walls about 2&1/2 Metre high. Any thinner, and it would be unstable and fall down. Foundations are made about 45 cm thick so as to distribute the load of the masonry wall evenly over a large area.

What is the rough opening for a door?
A "rough opening" is the term for the opening in a wall into which a door or window will be fitted. It is slightly larger than the outside of the frame of the door or window to give some tolerance (space) to install it and get it in the exact position and square. It is measured between the structure to which the door or window will be fixed, such as the studs or masonry. The amount of tolerance between the frame and the structure varies depending on the type of construction and how accurately it is built, but is often in the order of 10mm all around the frame. An air seal and expanding foam are sometimes installed into this gap , and linings or architraves, and claddings cover it.
