  5. Hi and welcome We where in a similar position While the plot looked flat we also had 600 mil of spoil from a previous build that had been grassed over All to be removed before we broke ground We used strip foundations with a BB floor This wasn’t particularly expensive and hassle free

  9. I’m not a big fan of plastic But I used it anyway I used black grained UPVC Simply for maintenance The soffits where 5 or 6 mil from GAP In truth you can’t really see the grain from the ground But they are dull and could easily pass for painted
