New Build - Northern Ireland

[PaddyC]

Hello,

 

I recently joined BuildHub and think it is a great idea.

 

My wife and I have planning permission to build a family home in Northern Ireland.

 

I am a bit out of my depth at the moment with where to go next.

 

The site came with planning permission and now I have to get an Architect on board.

 

I have asked for a few quotes and there are 'traditional' contracts or 'design and build' contracts. Would anybody have any experience / advice on these?

 

I intend to appoint a Project Manager to oversee the works, would anybody know a rough rate for a Project Manager?

 

Appreciate any help I can get.

 

Paddy

Welcome paddy.

Did the planning permission come with a set of drawings for a house or guidelines which to have to follow for a house of your own design??

What route you take well depend more on your build method. Have you any preference towards a block build or timber frame or another method.

Declan,

 

Thank you for your reply.

 

We have a set of drawings for planning permission. Aiming towards a block build.
