recoveringbuilder Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Yes architect designed timber kit, nearing completion, 1.5 storey 260m2, not without its problems and this is our third, you’d think we would have learned by now! Sorry I answered the question which I now realise was not for me? Edited October 24, 2018 by Christine Walker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exacty Architect designed, more self designed from inspiration of others. We're building the kit onsite ourselves. Has been through a structural engineer and usual building control route though. Steep learning curve.......and with the forum as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
