Stephen Aitch Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! We are at the foundation stages of a newbuild. It's a replacement dwelling for a chalet bungalow in the centre of Marlow, Buckinghamshire. Very keen to read about other projects and get some advice on ours. Cheers, Steve 3_Westwood_Road_Design_&_Access.pdf Edited June 10, 2020 by Stephen Aitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Welcome Steve. Are you at the millionaires end of the street or the other end, the multi-millionaires. Used to work in Marlow, and go kayaking from under the bridge. Have been known to jump off it for a laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan F Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Welcome. We are also replacing a bungalow in Berkshire (Wokingam), just kicking off on site this week. There are other build-hubbers with completed builds close to you in Henley/Maidenhead on the forum... Decided how you are going to build it yet? - Construction method. - DIY vs. main contractor (or something in between) Edited June 10, 2020 by Dan Feist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToughButterCup Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Welcome. Your Design Access Statement is one of those very rare things, a document drafted by a team of people who care about both words and images and know how to make them work together well. The whole makes a compelling case for PP. A very good start indeed. Pity about the timing. But delay can always be put to good use. Years of quiet fireside reading on BH await. Again, welcome and ask away.... Ian (PS is there a Blue Plaque up in the town for @SteamyTea yet? ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I did anything of merit. Not even at work (was one of the worse places I ever worked, I once managed 3 days in a row doing nothing, and no one noticed, so took the next day off, and no one noticed that either). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Aitch Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Thanks all. Not in one of those riverside properties sadly.... but it is a lovely town. We are using a main contractor for the build, but specialist subcontractors for MVHR and ASHP. Marlow is quite a traditional town and we are on the edge of the conservation area, so it will be traditional brick skinned but contemporary design... I insisted on brick and block build for reasons of solidity and ease of getting builders. Not sure I was right on this one, but we are committed now. Foundations are in so the exciting stuff is about to start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
