Garage Floor Conversion
Hi, I am just converting my garage into a living space by knocking through the internal wall.
I need to raise the garage floor height by about 100mm. Would the cheaper option be joists and floor boards or a screed over insulation?

"Either are ok . you will need to check with building regs in your area , every council are slightly different , its going to need full insulation on walls and ceilings . done a few in the past ."

"Just to say 100mm of screed will take about 4 months to totally dry not two weeks it is approx 25mm per month"
