Once the structure is up There’s little point bringing in an Architect Unless you have money to burn 🔥 Regarding trades You will scare them off if you start talking contracts You can get a detailed heating and electrical drawings done But if your partner is anything like mine drawings would need to be very flexible If Your watertight Your on the down hill part of the build Two thirds done

Counter batonning the underside with 100x25 saw cut makes a massive difference Closing the centres also Which adds a third to your quote None of this is expensive and the grand scheme of things and somthing you can’t change later

Just share your I guessing bad experience You can leave company names blank

As a tiling business I’m asked to use Panels on occasion Usually commercial and student accommodation They are cheaper and quicker to instal than tiles But not as durable and look commercial The ones we instal tend to be replaced after five years But get far more use than a private bathroom

Not much good as a private message Share it on the forum
