So you want to build your own home? Bear in mind that most of your relatives and friends will now be a] hugely envious, and b] watching you closely for any other symptoms of certifiable lunacy.
Assuming this will only serve to strengthen your resolve still further, where to start?
To build something which fulfills your aspirations in a highly individual manner, you need a company which in turn treats you as an individual. Which is where we come in.
There are of course a few key stages and processes which are common to every build, specifically as below:
