Hi - New build adventure in the South East

[marmalade]

Hey, hi, my name is Marmalade (you may debate if this is my real name or not – it will be a quick discussion I’m sure)

Looking forward to diving into this knowledge base on the friendliest and most helpful self-build forum in the UK.

Currently in the midst of a self-build project, it’s been an interesting journey so far, especially as this is all new to me. (Thank goodness for the help of AI to save me from hours of searching through websites)

My land purchase is finalised, waiting for the land registry documents, I’ve got my insurances, builder contract, building control, structural warranty and self-build mortgage partners all in place.

Some specific topics, challenges and areas of weakness are mostly related to the actual build and verification we’re doing the right things:

-Utility connection – specifically Drainage/Waste water

-Insulation - My site wasn’t covered over the past few months while the cavities were open with insulation inserted – this has been the biggest source of stress and mostly why I’m here!

If any one can suggest where I can start posting on these, that would be incredible

Thanks for accepting me to join this community,

Marmalade (not my real name 😉)
