• I wish we could afford a full architect design!

    I did the drawings, specced the materials and roof build up etc, just got an architect to amend the drawings to building control requirements for £1200.

  • Oh that’s bloody good then! How did you spec roof? I defo asked about warm roof but it was either too late or too expensive, or both.

    Feel you’re doing a better job of self managing and planning.

  • For the warm roof build-up, I googled and lurked on the BuildHub forums.

    Our builder is also luckily up for taking direction.

    For the loft, I really didn’t want to end up with the bog standard dark slate covered shed looking box with massive soffits and uPVC fascias, so spent a long time obsessing over roof pitch and drainage fall, powdercoated aluminium trim, raw cement tiles, window reveal details etc. No idea if it’ll actually work out in practice tho…
