Morning Jo
I would actually prefer block and then clad with composite wood effect cladding to match our cottage but although I am quite handy,originally coming from an engineering background I don’t think I could lay bricks to a good enough standard for a building.
The builders who have done the slab for me have used blocks and a few courses of bricks up to pad level.
They have said timber frame would be easier for me,although possibly a bit more expensive than blocks.
Although I have architect plans and have received planning permission,I don’t have detailed drawings for either block or timber frame build and do not wish to back to my architect.
Really all I need are some drawings and I would be away,any ideas as to how I could obtain these would be great.
