Russell griffiths Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Sandy good draining soil, I would look at an insulated raft foundation. as said detail the airtightness, it’s just as important as insulation. come back and ask more questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendicle Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Moving electrics out of house to box took months to arrange in our case, so something to organise so it does not delay demolition, if you have not already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 The first few items on my list will be: + soil investigation for founds/basement + services to ‘kiosks’ + heras & security + site hut & loo + driveway/access heavy duty enough for trucks + outside and inside storage for materials & lock up for low value tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
