Think about it all the time.

A few million years ago my site looked like this.

(expletive deleted) your slow.

Go and get some 50 mm wide upvc trims. Cut a little bit 150mm long to use as a bit of a dummy up. Place the trim at 90 degrees to the frame and see what you think. Then stick it at 45degrees to the frame. Have a think what looks best. You could always do this in wood, but upvc will be easier to wipe down.

Does the 23kg a metre sound light.

I would get a metal hand rail fabricated to bc spec, bolt it down to the concrete. After sign off find off bolts and replace with a new tile. some regs are a bit silly, it’s a domestic property, not a library or school. Get that wall cut back and build it as you want it.

Add more where you feel it needs it. Board joins slammy door jambs. Thin wonky bits.

Why plaster it ? 6mm mdf ? 6mm mdf with veneer ? those shower panel things. What sort of finish do you want ?

Well it hasn’t fallen down yet.

What would have happened if it burned down one night.

I’m afraid I think your wrong, they are suppling a product, you might do something random with it like fit it in a shipping container house, if you have specific fitting requirements then your architect should supply a drawing. You might go to them and ask if they can advise on fittings per window according to weight. From my experience this last couple of years you are far better off just getting some windows and then designing the fitting method and employing a couple of good lads to fit them to your spec. The window fitters will want to chuck them in as fast as possible and off to the next job. Unless you are having a one off bespoke door system that requires weeks of discussion between architect and window supplier.

Why are you using 150mm pipe. 110mm is standard, it might connect to a larger pipe but the one from the house will be 110, that might give you a bit more wiggle room.

9mm osb is absolutely a waste of time you won’t get a fixing in it, 11mm minimum, but I have 18mm behind most walls.

Get the screed put in and put a tarpaulin over the hole when they are finished, if it’s liquid screed it will be dry in the morning.

Evaporation. Run the shower once a week. Sorted.

That’s fairly standard in Australia normally in high value homes to get an even finish across the boards.

Isn’t it just thin joint masonry. The blocks look like the yutong things, like a thermalise but denser, made with a fine white clay type stuff.

Don’t know if it’s just me but the whole drawing is in yellow, except for one red line.

You don’t have cabinets against the end wall, you need a decor strip, usually 18mm or can be as chunky as 22 mm so your cabinet run will be 18 -600- 600-600-600-600-18 plus tolerance you will need 3040 for this configuration with straight walls.

only 14 degrees inside with no heating on, but not a lot escaping from that roof.

Icf blocks. Single storey rectangular build with one or two opening will be the easiest thing to build going. You could get the blocks up in two/three days with two of you. Then concrete pour. Roof trusses with a raised cross tie for extra head room, will be very thermally efficient and good airtightness. Render outside, 18mm ply on the walls inside and then pink plasterboard. Will make the nicest workshop you’ve ever had.

Take it as 100% your concrete floor will not be flat enough for LVT. So look up what people say is the best product to put under LVT and work back from there, allowing 5-10-12mm discrepancies across the whole of the two slabs so this allows you to put a layer of self levelling compound on top to get the levels bob on.

Wall plate doesn’t need to be airtight, just bolt it down. What is your airtight strategy between the roof/ ceiling and walls.

Let us know how long it is before you want to kill him, her, them.

@Kelvin A lot of little things massively up the cost of kitchens. My other half wanted a shadow gap all the way around the island. I was rather taken aback by the amount this added! Ive just had this priced, but instead of a black aluminium trim I had it priced up in black walnut. !!!! We decided against it 🤣🤣
