Just waiting for the engineer to get back to us as I have told him I really want to do a slab and build off that I really cant see how a 1100mm footing could be stronger than a reinforced concrete slab,
If he doesnt come up with a way to do it then I will put your idea to the him on monday
Cheers for your help James its much appreciated
