An acoustic glass wall would be around £4-5k so I am guessing around $7k

I prefer toast for my breakfast.

Sketch-up.

You need a ventilated cavity to allow your cladding to dry, you can counter baton if vertical cladding or just use batons if vertical. You'll need a dpc under your timber frame either in your block work by lapping up the dpm or a separate dpc under your frame or in a course.

I'd go for 6inch studwork with full fill rockwool. But really is this all overkill?

I would disagree, a builder would have had to deal with this regularly and if not then they should have said they are not sure and to get advice from building control. If you were to as a spark or chippy about building regulations they should know what relates their work.

Probably planning permission Vs building regs. Many people believe that builders should know the legalities in the field they are working in. If they are unsure then they should give advice on how to get a correct answer, ask the council, get a legal advice etc If I take my car into the garage...

Since it's not a large area you could just manually pin the boards and use a nail punch to get it below the surface of the tongue.

There is no building regs for height other than for around stairs. I really can't believe they have done this a think it's acceptable for a habitable room. Building control will have issues with, apart from the stupidity, among maybe other things: You have no fire protection on those ties...

As your kitchen wall is your retaining wall, this could get water pushing it's way through regardless of what you do with your yard.

There is a bit more to a real water tight mix design, you need more a fines, a lower water content so a plasticiser, this will help with compaction and close the pores. Are you sure you wont get hydrostatic pressure on your wall?

Don't smash them up it'll take too long, place the neatly with a little gap between, do one layer then fill the gaps with stone and compact. Then repeat.

Yes, you'll need to contact the environmental agency to see if you need a licence first, then get a hydraulic survey done to make sure there is water and it's suitable and at what depth. Then get someone out to bore and set a well. Budget for 10k but depending on depth of water it could be much...

Just looks like the walls been chased and then filled back in, are you sure it's just appeared and not been there all along?

Don't see why you can't do option B, souring second hand would be cheapest as buying new the shipping might cost you twice as much.
