What is the size of your room Tim? @timsk P

What are you looking at for a base structure? I was advised to use easy pads but liked the idea of a full pad as I wanted a pool table so wanted it stable. I am also just less confident with groundworks than I am with the timber structure etc

Yeah that seems to be what I'm fining out. Ive been quoted £950 without architects drawings for building regs assessment and certificate and £750 with..........Well that's not on my budget yet!!!!!

So I am reading and hearing different things re gardens rooms. So if it is less 46m2 than 2.5 m single story, flat roof I understand I don't need planning permission and it can be done under permitted dev as it is not more than 50% of our land. Do I still need building regs then as some things seems to say yes and others no as it will be a timber framed building is this classed as temporary or permanent? Eek that will be another £1000 if I have to go down building control assessments plus any changes to the plans/foundations etc. I have a well worked out budget but trying to keep control of it!

Hello I about to start building a timber framed garden bar/entertaining room and want to check a few things off with you knowledgeable bunch. I am looking to get someone to put the pad/founadtions down before I take over as I think that could take me quite a while. I have had a quote for the foundation/pad as follows. The quote of for £6000 does this seem reasonable to people for the work explained? Install base for Garden room (46 m2) (With brick course) Excavate reduced levels by machine, excavation Depth : (230mm overall) Levelling and compacting bottoms of excavations with vibrating plate 50mm backfilling to make up levels with hardcore, compacting fill with vibrating plate 30mm sand or quarry dust blinding spread and levelled. Install 50mm Jablite insulation Mesh reinforcement to slab Disposal of soil off site Ready mixed concrete foundation and pump. Install 2 course of D.M.P (Blue Bricks) Final leaves to be 30mm-50mm above existing grass leave Thanks!

I have done up and extended a few homes before but always took over from the builders at shell stage or only done interior works so all advice will be gratefully received.
