A professional joiner that does commercial work should be well aware of what is required to comply with regulations.

I think most the temporary type log buildings will have similar air gaps.

Haven't looked at that - why ....can you get me a cheap one?

I just thought a log cabin would be nicer and lower

Sorry - no - afraid I don't have a source of cheap concrete ramps.

External wooden structures need upkeep and have a life of maybe 10 years..

Would go for a concrete ramp with a textured surface. Probably cheaper to build, no upkeep and will last longer than the porta-cabin.

Don't know if I would get planning for that - as a portacabin is a temporary structure & concrete is fairly permanent

My dd's nursery has a portacabin at the moment - and it is not raised off the ground! They have the babies i there so they are constantly accessing with buggies etc. - no problems.

I contacted both of the companies Jackieno & Saintgeorgemarple suggested and They "will be in touch" the Cosalt people didn't have a clue what I was talking about

I think you can have them fairly low, you are best to have a slight slope up to the doors anyway or you will have water flooding in every time it rains ( had that at a few nurseries I worked at that had level access, always had towels accross the doors).

I don't mind 6-8 inches worth of slope (how do you spell that?)
Cos I won't need handrails as they can't fall off

One of the govenors at the school runs "plant" so could get it excavated quite cheaply (tho' what to do with the soil??)
