Novice Self Builder

Hi all!

I've just joined as we're about to start building our home on our small holding in Perthshire, Scotland. The footprint is 150 sq.m and overall floor area is 280 sq.m over  one and 3/4 storey with detatched double garage. Construction will be timber frame, finish in wetdash render, stonework and some cladding with slate roof. Planning is now approved (although still waiting on that in writing from our incredibly slow planning dept) so starting to go out for quotes, organise structural engineer and building warrant. Looking forward to trawling through this site for advice and tips, and I'll apologise in advance for the number of questions I'll be asking ☺️
