• On busy streets in Locharbriggs, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Plasterboard: choosing well

Tapered or square edge?

Tapered edge boards are for taping and jointing without a skim; square edge boards are normally skimmed.

Which board type?

Use moisture-resistant board in wet rooms, fire board where a fire rating is required, and acoustic board for quieter rooms. Building regulations or your design set the requirement.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.
