... but after talking to a friend who has recently built i am undecided.
Sas,
This friend reckons his system (as detailed) is similar to timber frame (reason for u value request). Regarding ICF, another friend has told me a few horror stories regarding damp, moisture ingress etc and has recommended Ytong as a better alternative (no connections by the way).

SAS,
Just missed your post. I agree with the cowboy thing! One more question, when you talk of externally inulated masonry, is this a standard cavity wall or different build up?
Thanks,

SAS,
Cheers for input, i'll take a look at this system (another one). Dare say you could put insulated plasterboards internally also.
Thanks,

You can do lots of things but I wouldn't touch drylining.
why not drylining?
If the structure is composite the reciprocalHi,
I'm currently going through planning process and all going well i will be able to start shortly. I had been intending to use an ICF system or maybe a well insulated timber frame (approx u value - 0.17) but after talking to a friend who has recently built i am undecided.
I am curious as to whether someone could advise on u values of the following system;
Masonry block on edge - externally finished with standard plaster / skim
120 mm blown insulation cavity
masonry block on flat - internally finished with plaster / skim.
I was also toying with idea of finishing ground floor perimeter walls with insulated plasterboard but cost will dictate.
Thanks in advance.
