Beanyboy2802 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Evening all - thanks for having me. After looking on the market and finding nothing in our budget that is exactly what we want, me and my wife have made the decision to design and build our own house. We aren't in any particular rush - happy to figure out the basics of design first, but I've signed up to my local authority self build scheme so am "sort of" actively pursuing it. I'm completely new to all of this process, so expected this forum will be an amazing source of information for me as I go through - and I'll apologise now for asking so many questions, the first of which will be as soon as I figure out where to post it (and check it hasn't already been answered!). Thanks again for your help - and hope to see you around the forums. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beanyboy2802 Posted March 30, 2023 Author Share Posted March 30, 2023 Well, that was short lived..! My wife and I have decided to put the whole "self build" idea on hold, on account of us soon to be expecting! But I will be back - thank you all for your support, and hopefully it won't be too long before I start looking into this properly again! Thank you!

ProDave Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Rule 1 of Grand designs, have a baby mid build. Congratulations. I am sure you will be back. Wanting to self build is an itch that won't go away until satisfied. It took me 20 years to be able to scratch that itch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Rule 2 of Grand designs decide on a building that will cost way too much. Oh and congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Congratulations! A year to find a plot and another to get planning permission for what you want. He might be walking before you can start building 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
