I'm planning to build a large workshop 14m x 7m
The plans are passed and now i'm facing building regs.
The original plan was to build in timber frame, but i have been advised that i'll need to appoint a structural engineer to design the spec for the timber frame.
I have since been told that if i build with breeze block i won't need a structural engineer, and it would work out cheaper.
But...Timber frame I can physically manage myself, block work is too heavy for me, which means i would need to appoint a builder, which takes me to another question...Which is cheaper, a builder or a structural engineer?
