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…
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.
