Hi Mac, can you believe it actually gets worse?
Just called building standards who are now saying I need a building warrant including U values for the complete conversion which really requires an architect and plans!?! I mean we do have scale drawings for the project no U values etc, suppose...
Hi Tommy, why do you use 3 concrete and 3 screed? The basement is about 50m2, think that would run into about 10m3 of concrete/screed in total to level, which is quite scary.
And what is the insulation sitting on? Is it concrete and a DPC/membrane ie concrete-dpc-isulation-concrete -screed...
Hi mac, about the second last pararaph: Those are the specs for a floating floor in a basement as per building regs, which I was considering. If I was to follow them to spec (i think) I would require to build a single brick high dwarf wall to support the joists beacuse of the span of the room...
Hi all, I'm really hoping for some good advice here as I'm at my wits end with all the conflicting views from individual contractors:
I'm currently trying (very slowly) to convert my basement into a living space, it's approx 7.5m x 6.5m. I've recently had a contractor in to install a cavity...
