Change your rafters on quote 1 to 406x140x39UB, then that will be the best option. A deep slim rafter is better that a shallow wide one due to the bending, both options should have rafters stays, probably in 2 locations up each rafter. All buildings should have site specific calculations, even...

I believe its the 80mm ks1000 panel you need to get +60mins fire integrity, but worth asking kingspan before ordering. Intumescent paint will depend on the use/location/ownership etc

Accoya wood

Yes composite panel being used to the floor level now. This can be a freestanding wall panel that sits on the floor, or a standard composite panel fixed to cold rolled rails etc, if its a retrofit and you dont have internal columns then the freestanding ones are a good option. You can single...

Unless you get a written guarantee off your panel supplier building control will not sign off concrete panels as a firewall partition. Currently doing a 4 building site where this has happened and the panel order has been cancelled and now the partitions are being clad to floor level. Twin skin...

Only a 200acre farm so that's all the hours he is needed for, owner does the morning feed and son is required in for around 9:30am. Summer hours are more for harvest etc. He does do his own firewood splitting/drying/selling on the side on his own as a sideline business, so is usually out all...

Yes I bet, but not a lot of choice in our area. He did plumbing and electrics at college and got student of the year but couldn't find an apprenticeship.

Our son is 18, works full time on a local mixed farm, can and will do any task required, feeding, taking to market, combining, mucking out, TB testing, repairs and maintenance on kit, can drive any machine, telehandler/digger/combine etc A lot of the kit is a few years old, no shiny new stuff...

How much for the 60x60x14?

If it is just pitted and a bit damaged but no major cracks right through it then maybe look at getting it ground down and polished. These chaps are the nuts, Martin runs a very good operation https://www.concretepolishing.co.uk/project/industrial-polished-concrete-gloucestershire/

You need to be looking at something like this https://www.kingspan.com/gb/en/products/insulation-boards/roof-insulation-boards/kingspan-greenguard-gg700/

Yes regs state metal consumer unit only, or box it in as its a fire risk. Change the box would be the easiest I would image? If you box it doesn't it need to be 60mins fire rated, so fireboard but the door would need proper attention too.

Have an oil filled electric rad her in my office as it was too much of a messy job to get the central heating to the right place. Its great, get hot quick, can turn it on via an app on my phone or preset the times and its thermostatic valve means it kick on and off when needed.

Eternit are not UK made any more, Eastern European made now. (yours may be from old stock if uk made)

They should just make it a blanket, 0% up to £20k, 25% up to £250k then 35% over £250k

Fun day out here. Would certainly recommend it for an experience.

Box profile tin. you can get an internal liner sheet which is 0.4mm as the cheapest option

A nice steel framed building you can then clad it in you preferred material, have a large open plan garage/storage underneath and office upstairs.

Oh ok haha, yes insulating an open carport is a bit OTT. Anti-con on the underside of the time ma be ok then as its primary use is to hold the moisture in then it gets dried by airflow, but most people seal in the eaves and ridge and wonder why it does work, but sould like you will have plenty...

You could do a built up system, single skin tin, rockwool then tin on top. Equal to a composite roof but cheaper if you can do the labour. If you don't want condensation best to avoid a rooflight if possible.
