Putting a nice big bedroom on the side of house so I can get the addition of a nice big workshop on the ground floor past the wife! ;-)

Hi all, I'm a first time builder (of anything bigger than a shed or a bathroom renovation) and hoping I can pick your collective brains to reduce the number of catastrophes I encounter en-route!

My new workshop will have to be big enough to park my motorhome in it, so I'm needing a door height clearance of 3.1M and it's just over 10M x 6M, so 63ish Square Metres footprint. Upstairs will be a bedroom with large en-suite at one end of a full length apex roof, bedroom accessed via a few stairs down into an existing room in the end of the extg. house, and a covered balcony at the other end, overlooking the Humber Bridge.

Current state is that we've got walls up to joist height, concrete block and beams in last weekend under the balcony floor and the steelwork including a ridge beam was also lifted in last weekend. Scaffolder just finished the scaffolding for the next lift of blockwork and I'm about to order easijoists for the floor under the bedroom. I will no doubt have lots of questions...
