If it wasnt too much extra, panelvent (or similar softboard material)boarding is a better material than OSB....

What is insulation spec for external wall? . at 138mm at had better be polyurethane

suggest you look for 200 deep studs at 600 c/c - deeper void ( fill this ) for insulation and less thermal bridging

watch out for studs massing together around windows openings - more timber , less insulation .

use a composite plasterboard to line the walls . ( min 38mm )

be prepared to use a thicker board ( 62mm ) to walls ( usually front elevation ) where studs are tightly grouped .

use a two directional air tight / vapour barrier ( vapour tight in winter vapour permeable in summer )

appoint an air tightness tester to visit
1. after first fix m+e and air tight vapour barrier - to do pre test
2. near completion - to do test

oil is at record high - and set to continue breaking records this year . look for value now ( reason you posted of course ) . but remember - the more you pay now for build quality the less dramatic your increasing fuel bills will be

What is the price per week for the scaffolding and where are you getting windows... steer clear of MJ I'm told... My 'all round the house' scaffolding is 220 plus VAT per week... not sure how hot or not that is!
