    architects cost a lot for calling to the site to over see work if there is any way of avoiding that do so , it sounds to me hes qouting for a lot of things you could avoid ,

    So I wonder will you take any advice such as in 2 above.

    Anyway my advice is to get the water cooled Stihl con saw and cut off the balcony slab from the outer face of the inner wall and build a balcony that is thermally broken from the main floor slab.
    You have a massive thermal bridge with the hollow core.

    Hi is there much difference in the cost of timber flooring with lots of insulation and a precast floor. We are also building a dormer. Also slates which company did you use and what type?
