what does your architect say?
Well our Arch is not someone that normally works on residential houses. But we like his style and previous work. But due residential not being his normal line of work he admits himself that he's out of the loop on pricing these days. He did agree it should work out cheaper but was worried the fact they are a non-standard style here could bump up the prices.Well, in my experience, and I've done a few, you're right - mono pitch is cheaper, simpler, and much faster to fit as well.
That's good to hear at least our simple logic is not failing us just yet
. And seeing as you are Galway based we might have to pick your brains when the time comes .
As for planning being an issue there are already examples of non standard roofs in the area. But we're not 100% on the mono-pitch as the storage/extension space an attic in a pitched roof with hips or gable ends gives is something we might op for over the mono-pitch. So this was just me pondering things and sticking the feelers out to see if cost would be something else against a mono-pitch.0 -

Dormer's and Hip roof's are not good for attic space, and are much more expensive to build. It would be cheaper, and more useful to provide an extra room in your footprint instead.

“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
