    Imagine doing block on flat with EWI. You have a length of wall that wall that goes right up against a boundary garden wall. Are there tricks of the trade to still fit EWI and render? If not how could I detail this?

    That was my first thought. How would I close it up and keep out water?

    Step back the block on flat enough to fit the required amount of EWI.

    I could but I'd lose space so looking for ways to avoid that.

    Possible but problematic in my case.

    Would filling the void with beads and some sort of flashing be acceptable?

    Acceptable? Yes your arch/ Eng should be able to design this to suit and builder make it happen.

    Timber frame, insitu concrete, ewi.. it seems like your still researching construction methods?
