I have seen multi storey carparks with smaller steelwork TBH!
Engineer seems to have over engineered some things.

It does look like it will be something rather special! Certainly raises the question of why so many of us live in modest homes for incredibly high prices just to have access to London! It always amazes me when you see some of the houses on the TV that end up in truly magnificent and large properties and still get lots of change out of £750k.

Looking forward to see how this develops ; nice one :0)
Amazing what you get for your money in Scotland.
