Hi I notice that you came off the concrete foundations with breeze block up to DPC . I would have used engineering bricks for that task. Is there any advantage in the way you have done it vs the way I would have done it. ???

Hi there! Just found your channel... Is there a part two to this video? I’m after building pretty much the same size garage but without the partition and a single large door. Trying to cost up the best value between block built and rendered or timber frame etc... You make it look easy! I’ll keep watching and maybe the builder will let me fetch and carry 🤣 Great channel.
