Only real way is a laser level or site level (dumpy) if it’s as big as you make out. 20-25m is no problem for a tight string line, we used to use fishing line for distances over that when an optical level couldn’t be used

Sorry here about your situation, all too often I’m afraid. Your first call is to give them the opportunity to put it right, at their cost. If you don’t want them to, wait to get their agreement to put things right, add that you can see it will cost them 5 or 6k and you would be willing to take 3k and them walk away. but they may well see through your plan and simply go to ground knowing you don’t want them back anyway. And you would find it hard to legal action without giving them the chance to put it right

We changed whole workshops and offices over to voip and it’s been pretty good … until tinternet goes down and 5g backup takes a while to kick in. Sound quality is good

Yes but magical to watch and hear working …. Yes I’m an engineering saddo

Pretty sure it’s not a standard term so something ….. … water company?

This is thought provoking .. I wonder how many people have ever ‘wasted’ some of their employers money? Maybe left the heating, lights or air-con on when it wasn’t required? Used a company vehicle or fuel for their own use? Taken something home from work?

Looks like a piece of flat strip steel so it will not support the wall above it. Definitely needs a lintel. Had it been an angle section steel with the leg upwards behind the bricks then it would have been ok.

No need to cover entire area, would be a pain to level and pallets not rocking. Whole or part slabs stacked to support corners of pallets would work well

Any dense concrete block will last. Don’t go for celcon or any other insulation block. Reclaimed paving slabs would be ideal for this sort of job.

As a job price sounds ok, if I was to question anything it would be the 350 for brickwork support

The skim will sort the screw craters

Well done, not enough bullet holes for @pocster tho 😉

Ahh yes, sorry I never thought about an internal overflow

Nut doesn’t need to be against a sealing washer, seal should be on the basin side, not underneath. Assuming you are talking about an outlet then the seal prevents any water from getting under the lip so can only go down the hole and directly into trap.

Commercial buildings are rarely build with insulation in mind, however where possible steel structures are kept inside of curtain glass walling with only the fixings bridging outside to in. As you can’t move the post you will need to encase it in foam and then a decorative aluminium or composite outer.

No planning Or BR implications

Hi and welcome

If you need the 44mm thickness I would be going for a home made sips panel .. 10mm ply either side of a 25mm core would be incredibly strong, stiff and staggering the joints you can get the length you want

Can you do something with the post? Move it or at least encase it in insulation before fitting anything up to it. If not that post is going to sap heat and be a condensation nightmare

16k will get you a basic standing lift, 20ish for an open car wheelchair lift and 30 for an enclosed. Power supply is rarely above 1kw so no fancy supplies needed. definitely no residual value as they are a pain to remove and rails/tracks are usually cut to suit the install.

Hi and welcome, flat works must be a nightmare for access and keeping the locals happy or just not wanting to kill you.

When we had a steel and timber erecting division, the vans and T shirts said “Specialist Erection Services” while working every night in Leeds on station upgrades we were asked constantly by (mainly girls) party goers to sell or give them shirts

Has to be spreader plates for the UFH. Doh, hit save just as I saw the post above

Hi, straps fixed to the frames with self tapping screws will be no problem, bit of messing about offering frame into place sorting locations for brackets/straps, remove frame, fix brackets, put back into place and fix. If the frames were thermally broken I could see some argument against additional metalwork but this seems lazy or not what they are used to

As above, you don’t need a 13 for test holes, great for demo with a selector grab, quick site clearance and removal/stock pilling of veggie layer.
