3.Insulation - Select the insulation level you want - the lower the U-value the greater will be the energy savings.
4. Wall Height - Take external wall height rounded up to next 300mm (which are the Polarwall course heights)
5. Perimeter - Total external wall dimensions and enter result in metres. See example above

Reinforcing steel - Basement walls need reinforcement. Welded wire mesh is quicker and cheaper than rebar
Labour - Build speeds vary depending upon experience, complexity, reinforcement, openings, access etc.
If project is a self-build, assume a novice rate of 1 sq m/hour below ground and 1.5 sq.m./hour above ground,
but if a Polarwall Approved Contractor is to be used refer to him for the labour cost estimate.
