Looks excellent!

back to topic, spoke to the AT and he has agreed to do regs drawings for £600 instead of £800. Bonus. And I will be going for full planning, not building notice! Thanks for your help. And sorry if I have caused any trouble between the old heads :whistle::ROFLMAO:

Can you build up into the loft for a bigger 3rd bedroom and knock the current 2nd and 3rd through to make a bigger 2nd?

Dog tooth washers between the joists may help too

Drill the new joists together on their own. Then offer them up to the old joists, mark then with a pencil and drill them on their own. If you’re having difficulties fitting the drill in between, maybe cut the shank down once you have drilled all the new joists to try and fit it in. And as far as...

Wow that’s a workshop and a half! Brilliant set up you’ve created there!

Looks like you’ve done plenty! I would love to know costs! I always ask but feel cheeky. And I never get told haha. I only want to know purely for the simple fact that I am about to do a similar build my self and have no clue what so ever on how much it will cost me. I’m East Yorkshire so won’t...

Thanks for the encouraging comments. Big ambitions on a small budget I’m afraid! I’ll keep the updates flowing when I have things to report on.

I'm no expert, far from it but i think cost of concrete will be greater. But depending on your requirements for the rooms are or what flooring finish you want (wood, carpet, tiles etc) its hard to say. Think you'll need more than a chimney breasts worth of hardcore for a starter if concrete is...

Basically its a **** idea and you aren't listening to the advice you've asked for

that was my thoughts

Maybe not, but I'm quite tight and the companies I have spoken to since are more competitive. Plus I have had to work like mad to get this far and begrudge paying more to my AT.

£1000 plus vat for plans. (plus council fee for PP) This was sold to me at the time as everything needed to start building. The when i have asked about working/reg's drawings as builders have asked about them, i was told it would be an additional £800 plus vat for this. (plus council fee) Steel...

I have read through your replies now that I aren't seeing double (got carried away on gin last night). Thanks for taking the time! After speaking further with the AT, he has quoted me an appox. amount and said it would be an additional £XXX. This is what I was not prepared for as I thought it...

Too ****ed to comment at the moment. I will review your comments and come back to you in at Am of wed. Thanks for inputs!

You've spelt that out nice and clearly! Thank you. So I'm guessing you're in the building design/regs trade??? Surely there must be some advantages to a BN application? For instance I am led to believe there is more scope to adjust or evolve the build if things crop up or change without further...

I've just searched to try and answer the question before posting... Whats is recommended/favoured by most builders/clients? Building Notice or Full Plans Application? Both seem to cost the same on my LA website. This is the project in question...

Planning application is now live on our council's planning portal!(y)

Now as I am knocking down the existing garage, I need to build a new one. This will be started in the coming month hopefully. A timber frame on a dwarf wall, clad in Yorkshire boarding, with a tin roof. 18x12ft. It will look like a mini barn. Cant wait. But that will be a thread of its own...

So numerous revisions later, going back and forth more times than I would care to remember, plus a year break on the project due to our money being needed elsewhere (range cooker/heating/hot water going caput) and a new baby coming along, we have eventually come to the following ‘final’ plan...
