The EWI goes up in increments of 10 mil Ive done plenty like yours and used two different thicknesses in your case 20 mil thicker for the bottom

Any concrete blocks are fine If you decide to use lightweight thermal These are fine also But will need a scratch coat and mess

You could let them sit on the lean mix cavity fill if you don’t want to do that Both ways will work I definitely would start gluing anything I couldn’t imagine a brickie doing that

I’m installing a treatment plant for a neighbor today BC are coming tomorrow to sign it off I’m not a contractor and the only experience I have is installing TPs on my own builds I think your designer is confused

I’ve not heard of that Weve just had our second build signed off 8 weeks ago we did most things ourselves BC never asks who’s done what Only that they have worked to building regulations If this was the case It would kill off self building

No you don’t need any kind of sign off from a builder or anyone else In order for BC to sign you off Many of us arnt using a building contractor

Start your cavity ties on the top of your dpc and sit your boards on these

Our neighbor has been given permission to build a leisure building 22x10 meter two story It can have a loo But no kitchen or bathroom Cant be let out Or have overnight stays Or sold separately from the house They tried for it to be an annex But where turned down flat There’s nothing stopping you using it as an office sun room games etc

You need to install facias and barge boards before your roofer starts But leave the gutters off till he’s finished

I wanted to build one and just the foundations on the other But we couldn’t submit plans for the second without breaching the cil

You won’t get the Cil on either We wanted to build both houses that we have permission for and received a bill from the cil for 60k Payable within 30 days of breaking ground I became a developer once the PP came through Weve done one and had the bill rescinded I tried the wifey thing also 😁

At first glance You don’t need to self level Just a cement slurry to fill any gaps 8 mil isn’t enough for the tiles your using 15 mil at least

Tell the warranty inspector it’s nothing to do with them Weve moved in nearly 12 months before we where ready for sign off No doors or loo Just porta

I’d keep the builder Architect separate

Same answer The diamond hole saws go down to 4 mil Drill slowwwwly Lots of water Most of the tile shops will sell drilling reservoirs That simply stick to the tile and cool the bit
