Resident construction expert John Corless chats about flash points to consider when building your home, including: • Managing heat loss, U-values and airtightness • Ventilation • Insulation • Space and water heating including thoughts on PV • Intermediate floors • Roofs • Contracts • List of other considerations: security, waste, health and safety, equipment hire, etc. Michael Doherty of the Mica Action Group rounds up the talk with a chat about the ROI government's remediation scheme to rebuild homes that were built with defective concrete blocks. Michael talks about the skewed grant amounts, based on 2007 costings of house rebuilding costs by the Society of Chartered Surveyors of Ireland (SCSI), plus eligibility for Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland grants. He also discusses planning exemptions, retention amounts for contractors and what building methods mica affected homeowners are considering.

This podcast is the first in a series of talks for mica affected homeowners. Mica is a naturally occurring material that has been the cause of thousands of homes crumbling; a redress scheme is being devised through the ROI government to rebuild affected homes. The topic for this first instalment is what to expect from the process of building your home, relevant to all those new to the area of self-building. We look at the process of building a new house from start to finish, flash points (from the importance of good design beyond obtaining planning permission to health and safety) and how to avoid costly mistakes. Michael Doherty of the Mica Action Group gives us an update as to where the mica process is at, and the profile of affected homes. Then John Corless discusses: · Starting the self-build journey · Building on past experience · Where to start · Current house building legislation · House types · House design considerations · Who will build it? · Professional Services · How much will it all cost? · Where SelfBuild can help

It was a pleasure to be joined on the tortoise shack by the Chairperson of the Mica Action Group, himself an affected homeowner, Eamonn Jackson, to discuss the campaign seeking 100% redress for the thousands of families impacted by this latest building standards scandal. Eamonn outlines the seriousness of the issue that has been happening since at least the early 2000's, and has continued up until recently. He speaks about the failure of the State to implement supervision of the blocks and how a 2010 change in the regulations changed nothing in real terms.
