Go far it Ours was a 2.5 acre field and had been in the same family for over a 100 years Not so much as a cow shed has been built on there Now we have two building plots
-
The price of the land will usually reflect the likelihood of planning being granted It would be worth checking if there has been any related applications to this land

Fixing battens and plasterboard to SIP ceiling
nod replied to nh26302's topic in Plastering & Rendering
Don’t use batons Ise 100 mil x 25 Fix with 65 mil ring nails No need for glue Use 35 mil timber drywall screws You can hang an elephant off those -
I would split the order I definitely wouldn’t hand over 70k to any company We will order our windows soon and take our custom elsewhere if they are not happy to do this As a business we have more work in than what we need Getting invoices settled is becoming an issue
-
It does I wouldn’t be handing over more than 30k at the moment Lots of companies are struggling with cash flow We have two jobs on hold due to TF companies going into administration
-
Just pay a small deposit with your credit card Which will cover for the full amount

Move steel column to be flush with wall?
nod replied to Dabooj80's topic in RSJs, Lintels & Steelwork
Beat me to the punch I suspect mr Ps answer is what you will get from your SE This is pretty common on commercial buildings With some boing as the SE has shown Or add a stud wall to bring them flush -
Whilst I ended up doing the foundations I paid a pretty standard rate for the Brickies Just short of 30k for most of it
-
Just in the process of deciding From memory the quote was getting towards 50 k without a front ot back door Supply only Nearly 12 months ago So probably more now
-
I found the Rational quote quite ridiculous More expensive than building the house and workshop 420m2 And that was supply only
-
5k sounds very high for SE

I would separate the top water from the waste If hes emptying one per year there’s no filtration going on The tank is simply collecting the waste
-
You will need 75 x 100 They don’t need to be treated Most merchants will stock these in 4.8 lengths Its worth going in the BMs and selecting your own As more often than not the Timbers can be badly bent if selected by the years staff

There’s all sorts of backer board you can glue and screw down The majority that I do are done with Ditra Matt glued down Quick and easy and bombproof -

You will often find that your online purchases are delivered by one of the merchants that have quoted more Build for less usually get TP to deliver Probably part of the same group

The finances / income of self employed sole traders

The Brickies I borrowed from my mate Wouldn’t do any loading or clearing up I’d to do all the setting out and lay the foundation blocks and load all 9000 blocks Two Brickies and a young lad would get through about 2k worth of work Saturday and a Sunday Start at 9 am away for 230 Very quick and neat The Brickies dad and uncle where my Tuesday and Wednesday gang Age 67 and 73 Old school 730 am start 430 finish -

I would take 200 day rate as a minimum now Buy and run a van and also buy tools No sick or holiday pay Probably a lot higher in the South East Most price work trades are hitting around 75 K now You will always find jobber trades that will work for less But productivity and usually quality will be less -
Plus 1 Time isn’t on your side Indemnities are cheap and common

You should build them up Leaving one clear in each room (If possible) for services to pass through

Yes the flooring will go over the 25 mil strip
-
I would have said a 1000 all in Sounds reasonable
-
No issues as long as you leave an expansion joint around the perimeter and where the two slabs join 25 mil insulation board
-
We blast Tek screws through RSJs without any issues
-
Plus 1 Probably more to do with having Somthing to clip his pipes to than warm up times Trays or 25 mil insulation will be needed Insulation would be the cheaper option
