Tbh, why do you need a cad file, what you do want that he said he would do is to have a set sent to your surveyor, structural engineer and bco. What you need on site is a set of drawings with measurements on them, you cannot really scale from plans accurately. So get a set sent to surveyors, they will come out and do a rough plot peg out, from there you can do your site prep, then surveyor to mark out foundations, then you dig then surveyor to mark wall position. I cannot see how a dog is of any use to you unless you have the ability to read it on your computer. If you really want it get the surveyor to send or to send a copy to you.

Why pir, why not eps to match the icf,

i did this to all windows and doors.

Just walk into your local glass merchants and order them. They are surprisingly cheap.

If you fit it at the threshold what floor coverings will you have, as you will need to span the 25mm upstand with something. like in my pic, I will cut down the insulation on the inside and span over it.

No, what are you screwing into it, your doors probably won’t have any downwards fixings.

Kingspan 500kpa xps.

That’s not a bad price for domestic, site rates are cheaper. Remember he will probably measure through the windows so could be more than you have estimated. I paid a cheaper rate and had to get rid of him after two rooms and find a better bloke, if it’s your self build you will want a better finish than site work.

I personal thought everyone was overthinking this. 4 lads just picked mine up on suckers and walked them in, extremely heavy but nothing that they don’t do every day.

Scaffold board laid on top.

If it’s just for a ledger board then don’t you like the stud fixing method into the concrete. No hangers needed just studding.

Can you not use the Nudura ones.

@MortarThePoint mate, you need a bit more tonic in your gin. 🤣🤣

Take the plywood back and buy 22mm tongue and groove chipboard, your ply will have give in it over the gaps between joists, unless you noggin all of those. So much grief. Chipboard is actually very stiff, ply is a bit springy.

Angle grinder with a segmented blade, and a dust mask.

We had a big family bit, kitchen, diner, lounge, office. Then a hall leading off to the bedrooms two of the bedrooms probably only got looked in once a month for a hoover. So cosy at one end, leading off to a small hotel down the other. 350m isn’t that huge over two floors, but on one level it does tend to look a bit big and sprawling. I bet you a tenner you build that in icf.

With those curves, are you going icf. I had a 350m house, it’s a big chunk on one level.

Laying flat is easier. Or do you mean you only want a 100mm thick wall.

It’s years old, I would expect to pay £450 for a new one.

Outside rotating level with a receiver inside any laser that does two different planes at the same time.

No. They are so big they are not interested, however there are a couple of eps manufacturers that are willing to deal with smaller orders. I know a few people who have ordered all their eps for insulated raft directly.

How airtight do you want it. You have trickle vents in windows and an extractor fan in the wall. Just scrim the joint and plaster it. Nothing else needed here.

Nope, nice first coat then laid in flat with a big wide spatula thing, then another coat on top. superb finish. not cheap, but I can see the difference. 👍👍

For your eps you want to go direct to the manufacturer. avoid the merchant for most things. manufacturer delivered a half attic load to me no problem. saved a fortune on pir prices.
