@LaChab if you render the reveals, how will you prevent water going down the sides of the window cill. from the cills we purchased I thought they went in first and the render came down onto the cill.

That example is not adequate for a front door, I could kick those 22mm panels straight out. and where’s the insulation, again 22mm of timber isn’t adequate. my front door is probably 85-90mm thick on the stiles.

1. Mist coat everything 2. Paint ceiling 3. Lay flooring 4. Fit skirting and architrave 5. Paint walls, skirting and architrave.

Look on the illbruck site for their window fitting packages you can use illbruck fm330 and then a very fluid paste that comes from a sausage gun, you spread this over the foam like a silicon sealant, but smooth it out with a paintbrush. I was so impressed with it I bought an extra 24 sausages and used it for loads of extra places. if you can do this bit yourself there’s a £500 saving.

Good job you had excellent support from myself

Your a bloody legend mate.

It’s about time you got rid of them.

I’m not sure exactly what you have drawn there, but none of it complies with any regs, all those blue lines need to end up in some form of inspection chamber or gulley that is accessible for unblocking purposes.

I’m not sure I fully understand, do you mean on the outstanding conditions ? this was back in 2018 so it’s a bit vague now.

@Lewis88 follow what has been drawn up by sbms, that’s probably one of the most clearly laid out drawings you could want.

What’s all the osb for.

It was getting to summer and I was keen to start, so I asked our local bc if I could do a phased building regs submission. they said yes. so I submitted the drawings for piling and ringbeam design from the structural engineer, while we were getting the piles in we asked for a list of stuff bc wanted. very little in fact, sap assessment was the one they really wanted, the rest was just loads of drawings forwarded from other designers. structural design for roof timbers. structural design for all lintels and steel work structural design for block n beam. we had the house up to wall plate level before we had submitted everything. we also had a couple of conditions relating to cladding choices and stone, I told them that I could start building because these conditions didn’t effect the construction of the house it was only the outside facade, we got these signed off a few weeks before we placed the orders for the materials.

Attic trusses craned into place. insulated between and over the top with some form of semi rigid insulation, not pir, it’s a nightmare to fit and offers very little in the way of sound absorption.

Norrsken. in Bournemouth.

Fark me. the human race baffles me more every day.

What exactly do you want to achieve vaulted ceilings to the bedrooms, or 1-1/2 storey with room in roof. some context needed really as to why you wanted a sips roof.

I was going to suggest that, but thought it was dicing with death.

Get a laser level.

That’s the plaster, normally 12-15mm thick. the plumber hasn’t used a long enough screw, so it hasn’t reached the blocks/ bricks properly. will need taking off at the valves and the radiator laid down then the brackets re fixing.

If you can add a service cavity then do it, these speed you can add services is brilliant and will save money on trades chasing and filling in chases. if you use the correct size batten you can get a back box to line up nicely with the front face of your boards. the board system you state sounds like it will give you a flatter wall, whereas the clay might look more traditionally lumpy bumpy. My plasterer has just installed some clay finish plaster that you don’t paint, comes in all different colours.

What’s the problem get the forms fill them out, get acknowledgment that it’s all been received from the council, start work.

Our knew planning policy inside out, they even had staff who were ex council planning officers. They knew the planning officer on first name terms, and every time he quoted something she shot him down with a counter argument. is it too late to withdraw your application and get better advice.

Planning consultant architects draw pictures of things.

I looked into sips roof on an icf house and forgot about it because of the spans. sips cannot span very far on their own without intermediate structural timber. you either need large splines of timber between the sips which leads to cold bridging which then needs additional insulation, or you need to put additional purlins at mid span to stop the droop from eaves to ridge, these then project into the room space. I would build a cassette type roof on site using I joists and insulation then osb.
