There’s going to be a lot of this Miller homes Story Homes and others are paying bricklaying contractors weekly I’ve friend who has gone from a gang to 41 bricklayers in a month Impossible to do without the weekly payments Not sustainable

Unfortunately not We claimed the integrated glass blinds

55 mil will be fine

Most make upwards of 250 per day

I’m not sure what Gablok is But your experience so far is a bad sign

Site rates walls £20-25 Little more for mosaic Private rates seam to be higher

I am I own a tiling business

90% of the bathrooms we tile are moister board (Green)

Moister board is fine Gypsum backer board performs better than Hardy backer and is as easy to work with as moister

Now that the planning is behind us My thoughts have turned to bricklayers A Brickie I’ve known since he was an apprentice started up on his own 12 months ago and had four Brickies working for him I’ve just spoken to him today and he tells me he’s now got 41 bricklayers working full time Miller homes and others are that desperate for Brickies They have been paying on a weekly basis There seams little sign of things slowing down anytime soon

There are metal conduits that have been covered with sand lime for decades As with a previous thread wet plaster especially lime doesn’t stick to plastic So metal (ally) capping will be fine

Plaster isn’t that great over plastic Metal will fix flatter Also conduit will need chopping into the block work for wet plaster BC don’t always allow

Metal capping for wet plaster

Recommendations on here It’s unlikely that he will need to visit the plot Even with bad ground He or She will follow the data by others Ive a very good one that I’ve used for years Very reasonable price

Not exactly a start it it’s a start Just the Cil and building regs to finish off over the next few weeks Then I’ll be able to dig the foundations out Hopefully we should have a water supply by then

Good tip

I bet they wouldn’t require one if it was there money

You can get a Bill of quantities done via most of the larger Builders merchant chains For a few hundred pounds and back this up with invoices for Labour when drawing down Employing a QS on an individual house would be a real luxury Your builder or individual trade will know exactly what they need Im in the process of doing a bill of quantities for our build Simple spreadsheet That worked fine for our previous build

No Definitely not

Good timing Just caught me having a last look I’ve laid lots of Terrazzo over the years and quite a bit on steps Terrazzo slabs like limestone are great for mitering Be size they are soft As you correctly point out They will chip laid on steps Yes Crazy idea

I think as a self builder You need to realize that Architects are not builders They don’t have a team of trades waiting in the wings They are there to do a design The technical side is usually done by others Architects earn there corn when you hit planning difficulties

Someone who picks up the phone when I call

7n would be fine to put a block of flats on

A days work for one £200-300 plus materials
