archtech: July 2010

http://archtech-ie.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday 7 July 2010. In planning only doesn’t get into the whole insulation thing". It is my opinion (and one shared by many others I assume) that is it is no longer possible to get away with designing a house without looking at achieving compliance with Part L early on in the design stage. For me one has to design the house in tandem with using SEAI’s DEAP software, (or if a passive house, the. Size and location of openings (windows and doors). Extent of perimeter of the building.

archtech: Cottage renovation Part 2

http://archtech-ie.blogspot.com/2010/10/cottage-renovation-part-2.html

Thursday 7 October 2010. Cottage renovation Part 2. Work is progressing on the cottage renovation. The project is behind programme, not helped in this instance by Tipperary winning the All Ireland Hurling Final: direct labour projects by their nature seldom go according to programme, as one is at the mercy of the sub-contractors, many of whom know that it will be the one and only time they will encounter that individual self-builder, unlike working for a building contractor. Clonmel, Tipperary, Ireland.

archtech: November 2010

http://archtech-ie.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Monday 15 November 2010. Cottage renovation Part 5. Work has progressed since my last site visit despite the poor weather. However its not been without delays. The fixing of the breather membrane and slating battens is now complete, as is most of the slating on the northern side of the roof. However the completion of the slating has been delayed, as the vertical velux window units. Internally work has progressed; the first floor has now been floored with 18mm flooring grade ply and the studwork caucus no...

archtech: December 2010

http://archtech-ie.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Tuesday 14 December 2010. A day in Court. There were a number of what would be considered snagging items/minor defects, doors requiring adjusting, the items which would normally be up right before the payment of the final instalment. However there were a number of more serious issues, which would not have happened had proper construction drawings and a specification been prepared and the project supervised by a competent person.

archtech: CIAT ramblings

http://archtech-ie.blogspot.com/2010/11/ciat-ramblings.html

Monday 8 November 2010. It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about CIAT. Last month I was in Dublin for a CIAT Centre Committee. Meeting, there’s normally a meeting prior to the Institute’s AGM, which took place in Guernsey at the end of last month. I always enjoy the discussion after the Centre Meeting, where most of us “from the country” have a chat and lunch prior to making the journey home. Discussions vary covering topical issues within the profession, be it OSI. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

archtech: Extensions and factors influencing budget prices

http://archtech-ie.blogspot.com/2010/11/extensions-and-factors-influencing.html

Friday 5 November 2010. Extensions and factors influencing budget prices. People definitely see value in construction at the moment and are prepared to extend their existing homes. I'm currently working on single storey contemporary extension to a 1970's bungalow; the sketch design has been prepared and currently with a local building contractor, who's accessing if the works can be undertaken within the client's budget. In general at least some alteration to existing services is required, when extending ...

archtech: May 2010

http://archtech-ie.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Thursday 27 May 2010. The last month has been quiet busy,(hence no blogging) between developing a number of projects from sketch design to planning stage, preparing a few sketch designs for some new projects and also preparing a few fee proposals. Preparing fee proposals at present is definitely the most difficult element of the job at present and worthy of a blog post in itself. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
