westpark Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Hi to everyone, Just about to embark on a self build up in North east Scotland, currently got plans in awaiting planning permission so hopefully shouldn't be to long now! Lots of useful info on this site but sure I will be asking a few questions along the way as a total newbie to self build. Thanks John Edited August 17, 2017 by westpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hi and welcome to the forum. What do you regard as "North East" Scotland? There are already a few on here building around Aberdeen. I'm a little further north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stones Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Welcome. Lots of help and support on this forum. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The search function is a good way to research, as any questions you have may well have been answered before. Check out the blogs as well, they are a real goldmine of information. Have you settled on how you are going to build your house? I'm a lot further north (a couple of hours plus a ferry journey north of @ProDave).

Not fully settled, but quite keen on the MBC passive slab and timber kit, I guess it will mostly come down to costings as hoping to do the build around the £1250msq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple07 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Hello, welcome, fingers crossed for your planning going smoothly, keep us all updated! I'm building rurally outside Fraserburgh but was being dealt through the Banff planning department for a while, was... erm.... well least said the better maybe! Peterhead for building control and so far keeping them on side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
