First time self builders in Bedfordshire, hoping to start in 2022 after 15 years of dreaming. Here's the technical bit, so far. We got planning permission in 2019 on a rural plot, 191m2 footprint (2-storey-ish?! due to planning!!), have decided on timber frame (appointing designer/manufacturer this week), but all the rest is TBC. As with many on this forum, hoping to beat building regs, airtight/well insulated design but not passivhaus, decent glazing etc, but all is currently TBC, so looking forward to getting advice and being part of this community.
