The self build project I have been working on and needed to ensure I could lock away my equipment from dodgy types. I discovered a company providing containers for sale and got in contact with them|I contacted a company providing containers for sale} and they advised me on one of their line which was site accommodation, the on site accommodation provided me with a place to do office work and have breaks but also provided me somewhere to store my equipment at the close of each day. The Containers had the excellent reputation of never having been broken into. 

Needing a cost effective technique of keeping the site dry when I built up the structure because I was going to be constructing it by hand in cob and straw bale. After talking to a United Kingdom marquee manufacturer about using one of their marquees as temporary storage over the base and first floor and they were very informative providing me with specs for the right kind of storage. I also looked at another temporary warehouse marquee for the preparation area and storage of the bales and cob. The Canopy would give me enough cover for the initial stage of the build including footings and lower walls and allow me to do the job in any weather.

I also needed to use oak beams within the building, just because I really like the colour, texture and resilience of oak. I found a timber supplier that had a lot of experience in oak and a vast variety of timbers and they guided me on the most appropriate oak beams to select and cut them to length for me. I used them again for the oak flooring which I cant tell you how fantastic it looked. I used a natural wax on the boards which brought out the wood grain amazingly.
