True but the cost is based on him doing it to legit spec. If the inspector says it must be done so and so then so be it. I would prefer he do it to spec and if it means I pay him a little extra if he thinks it not gonna be worth it then I may do.

Concrete pour has started. It's at least 6 inch but most places deeper as you can see from pics top of trench is min 40cm.

What wrong with that it's still standing!! Lol.

From what others have said the depth is adequate and for a 8ft garage it's probably had better foundations than some houses out there.

That's the builders problem I told him inspector will be coming and he needs to do it to spec .

He didn't mention scaffolding We had roof felt replaced at eaves up for 1-2m and the roofers were walking on house as if it was flat and that was in winter with ice. Think at 8ft it's an overkill I would have thought.

The slave said he would charge price all incl. I said it needs to be rendered and he said ok I will sort that out at my cost. Wanted pebbledash but apparently that would be too costly so went with std render.

Materials bought from largest supplier in Yorkshire

I will show you the pics and invoices when it's complete and you can make up your own mind. Mission impossible we will see.

I'm not sure if your in the building trade gunning for work but the builder is no homeless Eastern European.Even if he was what that got to do with it as long as he builds something of decent quality. He is a uk citizen with family and lives locally. His work has been inspected next door with...

Just been out and trench depth varies from 40-50cm in places. Pics done Stake goes in 4-5 inches with stone.

Thanks for advice that was very helpful. I'm edging towards metal roof as it has channels for water and will be low maintenance. Flat felt roofs are a too much hassle and will cost more in long run. Will speak to him about power and plumbing and see how much more he wants. He has his own...

The flooring will be raised and either carpet tiles or padding with carpet installed. Heating will be with a new installed radiator(my cost). Foundation wall fully insulated. Will speak to him about insulating walls as was told by a few builders this was not needed as the walls are same as rest...

Well if you add garage door windows etc comes to around 3k. The roof will be flat with metal. I have a choice of felt or metal at same cost. Wanted apex but at that price he couldn't and apex would mean a smaller wall height. Otherwise a very shallow apex. So we are sloping roof for drainage...

It's seem like so but he quoted me £2700 for conversion and 2700 for garage. In the end we settled for £5000 all in (£2500 for both). It's not a magical number I will show you works pics. You have me worried now thinking he's gonna mess it up.

Plumbing is being moved for washing machine but garage already has plumbing and electrics installed. The walls &ceilings are not being insulated just plasterboarded. Based in Yorkshire.

Was going to have electricity but for the price it's not included . The gutters will drain into the garden lawn which a sizeable piece is left. is that ok or should be divert to drain which will cost. Was thinking of drainage for plumbing but I can only think of storage at the moment. Unless it...
