Hi all,

Just getting started with a self-build timber frame house project in the South of Scotland.
The plan is to use professionals for the major works, but I'm keen to understand as much of the technology as possible (especially heat pumps, MVHR, solar PV etc), so I can ask sensible questions and (hopefully) get to a design that works, without breaking the bank.
I've already found a lot of great posts in the forum, so decided to stop lurking and create an account.

Looking forward to learning from the experts and making a contribution where possible...

Hi and welcome.

 

A plan in your position may be to get a builder to complete to "wind and water tight" and complete yourself from there, a very common approach for first time self builders.
