Just found out that the wood cladding we were going to use no longer passes fire regs and won't get signed off by building control. Architect says it just happened, but who knows. Cladding company can fire-proof a different tongue-and-groove cladding but that doesn't work for our concealed gutter plan which has gaps between boards. So now architect is thinking we'll use tongue-and-groove but have a concealed gap between roof and front wall to allow water to drop into gutter. Getting very bored of the ups and downs of this project now.
Everything that you can imagine and beyond can go wrong while doing this. Trust me I know from architect experience.
It's part of the deal really. Keep your chin up!
