    tax

    Hi all. As some of you may have read an earlier post of mine, I have decided to leave site work, and pursue my private work. Now for as long as I remember I have been CIS4, and before that SC60/715, labour only. Now if I'm going to trade as a "company" is there anything I have to do regarding...

    Foundations - First course below DPC

I think the term for common is used down here for the concretes, because for example, when they are used on block and beam, setting out the walls, then concrete floor is poured, so that the walls go on bricks rather than the concrete. Just...
