Hello there folks, this is my first post on this forum so go easy!
I am looking for some advice, i have finally bought a house with the facility for me to build a workshop at the back of the garden. the house is a 1930s mid terrace, there is a rear access rd and i have around 5.5m x 6m of land i can build it on, the restriction i have is that both of my neighbours have buildings at the backs of their gardens that are built up to the party line, obviously i want to build as close as possible to their buildings so i can maximise the space, i laso want to keep my wall thicknesses to a minimum whilst also having good to excellent sound and thermal insulation. i would like a concrete floor as i am planning to have some heavy equipment in there and also i think it will be much longer lasting than a timber floor.
i have been thinking about doing a timer frame building and pre cladding the side walls before erecting them.
The problem i am having is finding a good solution for damp proofing these side walls and making them as durable and long-lasting as possible. can anyone here advise me or point me in the right direction
Many thanks
Raj
