Chicken Shed - Self Build in Mid Devon

[Willus]

Hi everyone - we are doing a self build replacing a single story 15 year old Chicken shed with a ICF new build.  The end property will be of the same dimensions as the original chicken shed and maintain the look of a farm style building.   We are using single contractor to do the foundations for the ICF, the ICF walls and also a warm roof.  It will then be over to us to do the work ourselves / liaise with specific trades.  Hoping to pick the brains of the community on some areas where we have not yet nailed down our approach.   We have completed the demolition and foundations and ICF walls due to go up in August.  If we are lucky we will be weather tight during Nov so that we can work through the winter

For a moment I thought you were building a new shed for chickens using ICF!

 

Welcome and best wishes for your build.

Welcome @Willus. We're in south Devon and just about completed our Nudura build. If you still have chickens on site be warned as the little bastards love to peck at the EPS!

Presume you have gone down the Part Q to full planning route too? 

[Willus]

@Tom yes we bought the property with Part Q permission but the limitations meant it was going to be hard to hit sensible level of insulation etc so we then went for the full planning so we could do it properly.  We are also going to be using Nudura so fingers crossed for no blowouts when we get to the pour stage 🫣.  The chickens are long gone so just one dog to keep in check
