I am using a standard 6x6' dimension base. Sheet goods come in 4 x 8' size so it helps to minimise cutting (time) and therefore waste - to stick with imperial dims. I've been very keen to order just the right amount (or slightly less) rather than ending up having loads of shit left over. The framing also works with the sheet sizes too.
What i'm doing will not be as well insulated as it should be for year round use and certainly way off B'Regs standard (even tho that doesn't apply here).
An opening window or solid vent panel - would be nice but I just can't face the time/effort it would take to build (the door will be enough of a pain).
The most useful thing for me was to make the spreadsheet and start banging in quantities and and supply options. I tried to get everything from one place (Selco) but needed wickes for the roof sheets and other bits.
Tools wise so far most valuable player has been the little battery ryobi circular saw from B&Q and a speedsquare for cross cuts. For long rip cuts i've used the factory edge of another sheet laid on top of what i'm cutting. Good enough.
I have borrowed a mitre (chop) saw which will be helpful for the cladding.
