Hello buildhub-ers

Just about to set of on what (we hope) will be a great build adventure.

Hoping to build a new home in Newcastle/Northumberland area and am so glad we found you all and this site!!

Will be looking for tops tips from the basics up.

Looking forward to it.

Sounds exciting - well done on finding a plot up there  - they are like hen's teeth!

There are a few about but the problem is they aren’t ’easy plots’ we and our builder  underestimated our ground works which included a 3 meter retaining wall and 5m above sea level and on a significant slope, but we shared the risk based on the SI report, so apart from a 4-6 week delay due to weather we are progressing well.

We're just trying to get a plan of everything that has to happen and in what order - that's before we fully cost and progress it.

Currently have plot and planning permission, working on pre-commencement and need to get into everything else.

Going to dig about on the site for something like a checklist  - pls share if you've seen anything 😀
