Building a New House

[HenryThomas]

DH & I are looking at building a brand new house thru a building company (ie. GJ Gardener or similar).
I was just wondering if anyone has used one of these sort of companies, who did you use, and how did you find them?
Also, what have you put in your house that you love
What would you change?
What do you think would be a good idea for a new house?
I would LOVE a scullery, but have no idea how I would use it, so any tips on that would be great too
TIA

Thanks for the comment. I am thinking about a future home too.

I like the idea of living in my own house rather than an apartment. Except I have some questions about what kind of house is best (from a design standpoint) to build. So, for example, we have a garage that we would like to convert into a storage room. But we don't have any paperwork on restoring it, only a building repair plan. Is that enough, or do we need to draw up some kind of document for the inspection?
On top of everything else, I'm really having a hard time finding doors at the average prices; I found a site with nice doors doordesignlab.com. Can any of you have anything to say about their quality?

Building is quite a complex process, you will need a lot of time and money to achieve this goal. Personally I prefer to hire professional workers for such job, in such case result will be the best.

Renovation planning is very difficult, but hiring construction teams is very expensive! If you want to build, for example, your house, I want to do it myself. but I don’t know where to start and don’t know any repair advice sites.

I think it's not worth spending money on construction companies and hiring construction crews who will make repairs for you! It is because you can easily do it yourself at home, for example painting. There is a website - link, that helps people make repairs at home. Highly recommend to read, there you can find tips related to painting, for example how to make black paint at home is very interesting and useful!

I know, but I hope it will look amazing after all

When decorating your home, the main thing is to decide for yourself what style you're more inclined to. You can't mix several styles. If you want to stick to a minimalist or modern style, you can mix it with high-tech, but not with Victorian classics, you know. If your walls and floors are current, you should go for matching furniture like monochrome sofas and beautiful tufted rugs in calm shades. When I ordered my home plan from boutiquehomeplans.com, I immediately decided to see my home minimalist and monochrome. It's stylish and modern.
