This is my first diy project. The most Ive tackled is painting and
decorating. I need to change my garage of my semi into a mutli
functional room. Where the hell do I start? Do I need planning and
has anyone who has done this any idea of costs? I just need the
basics done like the garage door taken off, bricked up and a window
put it. Im sure I can manage the rest even though I am a woman! I'd
be grateful for any advice.

If you do it legitimately with PP and BC, theyll want it more or less
rebuilt. Foundations will need to go in, the floor will need to be
insulated the wall type changes to cavity, etc etc.

Who told you that. They will most likely want 2 to 3 layers of Synthaproof
on the floor and up the walls to about 1 foot above. You can install a
wooden suspended floor with insulation under and stud walls inside with
insulation behind. Insulation in the loft space. They may want a window,
but a glass door may be enough. That is it. Cavities? Rebuild?
Foundations? I can hold a car for God's sake. Planning have nothing to do
with it, only BC.
