Home Gamesroom... Wood or Brick?

Brick šŸ§± brick šŸ§± brick.
As for taking your time and doing it when money is available then thatā€™s the model Iā€™ve followed. Iā€™m now in my tenth year and itā€™s still not finished šŸ˜‚

It is however a usable space and Iā€™m well on the way with the cinema upstairs
Good luck Paul

You seem to be wanting to go down the permitted development route, why not investigate planning permission? When I built my games room I HAD to go down the planning route, it really was no trouble whatsoever, benefit was the finished build was exactly what I wanted, well, pretty much... The 'architect' suggested applying for an eaves height slightly higher than I wanted, consequently the ridge was also higher, the reason was if someone was to complain then the height could be reduced and and all parties would be happy, as it turned out there were no objections. So finished build was even better than my original vision.

The planning incurred some costs, but it really was pretty much zero hassle.

Chris,

Only because there isnt really any need... 2m+ away from the walls means i can go up to 3m on the roof... meaning i can have the eaves at 2.5m which is 6ft6 and plenty of room for a pin plus topper and have the correct runoff for the roof :)
Plus - 30Sq m is plenty of space before it gets too big (is there such a thing?!)... i only have a 8m x 5.5m hole to fill!

If two lines of block/brick with 100mm cavity you may reduce internal space a fair bit and increase costs...? Just for info, I had 100 mm block and internal timber frame for plasterboard, 50-60 mm off block wall with mineral wool cavity batts but thicker insulation in the roof. Seemed warm enough with double glazed doors and windows and kept cost down.... up to you though :)

So it seems that 30sqM is the max INTERNAL size under permitted Development... (Minus any internal walls, not that i'm planning any!)... so thats 7.5m x 4m internal measurements...
