the concrete supplies is called accumix, they also supply the pumping unit so i'd have thought they'd supply the right mix. they also mix what ou need on site then pump it. i'm not using any plans just out of my head, i think i'm ok less than 30 square mts , made of non combustable material...

thanks all for the replies, looks like it's going to have to be the concrete pad method i think, it's just that digging isn't one of my favourite things. mick you say a dwarf wall, i presume you mean a single brick wide a couple of courses high and just leave a gap for the door, would i still...
