Thanks to everyone for the BEKO blocks advice - think I'll steer clear of them given their apparent inherent problems! I don't want to add to the headaches of a self build project any further!
I've been reading about SIP's panels following your tip off about them - they seem like a very good option for achieving a thermally efficient house with a much quicker build time.
With an eye to cost, can I assume that as the SIPs manufacturers all seem to offer design and drawing packages within their prices that my architectural fees should be lower?
Instead of paying for costly professional architects fees could I just get a jobbing technician to 'join the dots' and do the building regulations work?
