It's not a join. The wall is cranked. The sparky was horrified when he popped to see us mid clad on the Hardie planks. He looked at all our diamond cutting stuff and said how am I supposed to cut holes in that! Hire summat I said.
One of the most difficult products I've fitted especially on a leaning ceiling.
Customer can do what he likes with his soil. It's his now.

Get the piece of poo company back to suck it all back out. You’re obviously concerned about the damp implications. ewi on cavity walls isn’t really a thing. fyi ewi meshed and rendered circa 4-5k on average per elevation. going on current prices.

We slabbed around the shed last and was added once the customer decided what he wanted. The steps were built and the slab steps finished at the top tread. All I had to do was assume a finishing height - and hope. The customers changed their minds regularly.

It was a bit like that yes. It was difficult assuming the crank on each tread accurately. It worked out that I had to off set each 'segment' tread by 105mm. All part of a large landscaping/walling job...

As long as you’re happy.
I don’t see the relevance to ewi board though?

I have got mould... Company went bust years back
The minimum thickness of external EPS is about 100mm to make it worthwhile doing. That sort of thickness can look a bit crappy on some houses - depending on the type and original finish of the house. The alternative would be PIR foam, which would need 50mm to achieve the same thermal value but much more expensive.

you will have a 25 year warranty. As long as you’re not past that somebody will be responsible for it.
Thanks KA.
We slabbed that area with the more expensive smooth slabs, so they can pad around bare-foot. In fairness to the customers, they spared no expense. Internally its just as impressive. We moved the kitchen from the front of the house to the back, the DS loo was shifted to the CENTRE of the house (groan), we knocked walls out and put steel in, bricked up old patio doors and built stud walls. The utility room was the only thing that stayed put but was totally gutted and refitted. We knocked the garage down and re-built it and added another story to an extension I built 17 years ago. As well as all the landscaping. Oh and put new drains in back-front. Big spread out job.
As an alternative to render, some 1930s semi's near me have used a combo of render and brick slips to maintain the traditional look after getting EWI, and imo it looks really smart.
I imagine it's a bit pricier than spraying render on though
