PhD Dissertation Survey - Understanding Challenges and Opportunities in the Self-build Industry

[CemCet]

Hi All,

 

I’m a PhD student at the University of Nottingham researching self-build processes in the UK and would greatly appreciate your input through a quick survey (7-12 mins).

 

Your responses will remain anonymous, and you can withdraw at any time.

 

As a thank you, there’s an optional £50 Amazon gift card draw for participants.

Thank you for your time and valuable insights!

Done. Quick feedback.

 

The question regarding how much extra you'd be willing to spend on eco features could be broken down into sub categories, e.g heating, insulation, glazing. Also response based on a % value rather than absolute. You can then derive the value from the previous response on the building project value range.

Thanks very much for completing the survey and sharing your feedback!

Breaking down the eco feature question and using percentages instead of absolute values is a solid suggestion. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for the next steps.

Really appreciate your input!

Cheers

This is specific, but the '20 questions' nature of planning (and now BC), is ridiculous. LPAs get more revenue that way, but it slows the process enormously.

 

Will this work ... many months delay ... no. OK, will this work then ... many months delay ... no. etc

 

Some LPAs and case officers are more sensible, but this is the default state.
