• Well minimsing spoilers but blended family in Hackney where both families had a parent pass away wanted to create family home on the plot of a double garage in Hackney downs. Father is architect and designed a 3 story house which would dig a basement to create additional floor space for kids bedrooms. Tight budget (obvs) and delays/unforeseen issues/contractor probs. Dad is totally frazzled by delays/stress of project and kids bummed out that the house is so delayed. Gets built but the basement walls aren’t thick enough so it’s not habitable.

  • Easy, our engineer specced 600mm foundations, BC came round and told us the needed to be 1200mm deep. Luckily they hadn't poured yet.

    Building Control, not British Cycling
