In October 2008 we completed the purchase of a plot of land in Cheltenham, on which we are going to build our first house together. This blog will chart our progress on the build, and life in general, as I personally fulfil one of my life's ambitions - to build my own house :)
Good Afternoon,
ReplyDeletePlease forgive the unsolicited email, I am afraid I am resorting to desperate measures by contacting people directly, as my deadline is pending!
My name is Rhiann and I am a final year Commercial Management and Quantity Surveying Student, currently doing research for my dissertation.
I am interested in building my own house in the future and view it as an opportunity to fully research all the various factors that need to be taken account of when deciding to build.
My research aim is to investigate which method of self build; a prefabricated house or a traditional brick and block house, provides the best value over the six key areas of Cost, Time, Design, Quality, Environmental Impact and Finance.
To achieve this I need to contrast information from self builders with actual experience, because as far as I can tell there are no comparison studies like this available.
If you would be willing to participate in a case study please drop me an email on rys7@yahoo.com, and I will supply you with all the details before you finally agree, essentially I will need to interview you about your project.
Apologies again for the intrusion,
Rhiann
