Macca thats a lot. Do you need a waffle slab? Would an alternative platform be cheaper?

Thanks Gambit79
Question please: What do you mean a layer of plaster? Do they plaster the interior of the bricks before they do the insulation?

Nope! House is exactly as per plan. Only the garage was trimmed

Hey MJ. Were they major changes you were looking to make?
We're still early days. Our slab goes down in the next week or so.

Yes we cut just the garage from a double to a 1.5. The house itself is unchanged

Good stuff. Did you use a private inspector and did Clarendon give you any pushback on rectifications?

How's your build going SteveMc?

Hey falcon86
Would definitely recommend it esp for a 2 storey house. Retrofitting ducting is quite hard especially for the ground floor.

Hi bumblebee
I had the same concerns and posted pretty much the same questions a couple of days ago.
