October 24, 20187 yr Hi, I'm doing a one and half storey self build in rural South Lanarkshire. Its longhouse style 18 x 6 m gable to gable. We're up to DPC, having laid strip founds; single skin blockwork wall to DPC; ground bearing slab make up of type 1 base with drainage laid, blinding, DPM, 300 mm EPS (75mm perimeter EPS),VCL, 150mm self levelling concrete slab containing wet UFH layout.
October 24, 20187 yr Hello, I’m in South Lanarkshire also, bit further down the line than you but always good to know there’s another mad person nearby!

We're building the kit onsite ourselves. Has been through a structural engineer and usual building control route though. Steep learning curve.......and with the forum as well!
