Could have gone that way knowing the delays. Was quoted 5-7 days then today went to 8 weeks.

have already placed first half of Simpson. Not sure you can mix n match ? I can workaround with supports but ideally want to perm fix.

Ok thanks. Will check again as spoke to them already. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey, Simpson have a production issue which could create an 8 week delay for me On the off chance , doesn't anybody have some spare ICFVL-CW hangers ? (red arrow in pic to be clear 🙂 ) details here Any number would be greatly appreciated and can be replaced later if needed etc

@Russell griffiths is that the titon or the black jack ? what was the feedback for building control ? I'm at this stage now, wanting to lay first course, but can't get an answer on how to apply DP at this level. ...

any update on this ? getting quotes in for windows now and Velfac have pushed me towards a supplier

sorry if hijacking a thread ... looking for the same , ICF Installer near Stowmarket, Suffolk. Nudura ICF is chosen. I'm looking for someone experienced to aid in the build and accelerate whilst adding skill and experience ! start time is a few weeks away for first course.. any takers or suggestions ? Any Nudura ICF experienced guys on here fancy a holiday in East Anglia I'll happily talk £

Dam. Everything is so long to order ! through the slab I assume ?

Hey so foundations soon going in. what have folks done with ducting for ASHP ? plant room isn’t on an external wall. Is it best to go down through the slab and come up 500mm externally with the feed / return / elec cable to the compressor. Or lay horizontal duct through ICF wall for simplicity. as ever , somebody has made these choices before please share 🙂

Yeah. Not a great one ?

Sorry if I’m not being clear. The pan connector is there from the back of the loo Sticking through the floor. It’s after that I need to connect to the 110mm does the pan connector go into the 110mm with a spigot connection rather than a collar ? Then it’s collars all the way !

It is. And does that go into the 110mm directly ?

You are correct. But I don’t know the fitting needed directly under the pan outlet. Past that it’s standard as you say

finally got the static in position now need to get the waste into the plant. I've got the 110mm pipe ready to slot into but struggling to find the right piece that goes under the van where both toilets come out through the floor. Is there a name or standard for this connector ? local plumbing just have blank faces and little idea. I think a single socket 110mm bend should push up and take the outlet from the pan coming through the floor. https://www.jewson.co.uk/p/osmadrain-bend-single-socket-110mm-x-87-50-brown-PO4D161Z

Initially about 15m. then I need to add another run once built of about 40m no issues jointing that up later ? I just want to avoid digging up the hardcore later and lay pipe I can use and extend for completed job. 32mm Mdpe makes sense to maintain pressure along the run from the mains : meter.

Hey so a new connection is going in from the mains / meter. But I can use an old one until I flip it over to the new. I need to lay what will be the new mains feed into the house under some hardcore that I connect later to the stop tap and meter. what size pipe do I lay underneath that I can connect up later ?

@crispy_wafer how did you get on ? I'm looking at Velfac and Internorm , wildly different prices and if Velfac does what it says it's a huge cost saving over Internorm.

Don’t have that option. Single phase from 100amp is all the UKPN gods gave me.

Normally no. It’s crossing a boundary where wall will be built.

CEF are £14 per metre. Let me know if you know somewhere cheaper

Yes tape etc all in hand. 100m it is … can’t move the source any closer ! That’s why it’s 50mm. Ouch. ££

Hey I have a 100m run from site kiosk to the house. It will be into a temp meter box for a while. Along the way it crosses a boundary where a wall will be built later. what covering / duct etc do I need under the wall area ? Normal depth and warning tape etc will be applied.

@Russell griffiths which roof system did you use ?

@Russell griffiths thanks , I'm leaning heavily towards standard strip foundation (and load bearing internals), some frost insulation on the outer side (could be overkill but cheap considering) , ICF & waterproof concrete coming from the top to above ground level, then ICF away we go... insulated ground bearing slab with UFH butting up to the ICF above what would be damp level. Could be any ICF in that config. front runners are Nudura and Polarwall (Alan is great!) oh and that drawing looks angry !! ?

kind of what I'm asking ... there's a savings question and a thermal target. Until reports prove different ground is ok for a strip foundation. Opt 2 - much simpler. dig a trench and concrete. that takes the wall load. less steel. (££) lay the ground slab , no steel. (££) Much less plant etc also. (££) Opt 1 - lots more work to do to get ground prepped. More plant. More steel. Plus costs of system. Labour is me and what I can get away with plus skills if I'm failing. Opt 2 should hit thermal target, but will Opt 1 miss it !? Jackon provide a nice solution for slab and walls. looks lovely but costs. Want to put the £ where it's most effective. Doing it myself makes quoting that much harder as 1- new to me. 2 - don't know what I don't know !
