On the other side of the spectrum, you engage your wife's mother's brother's nephew who you believe is good at drawing and charge him with drawing up your plans. You will then decide that you know about as much about building as any Architect Builder and Engineer and you start to build the house with direct labour. This will give you the worst possible outcome and probably the lowest build cost
(remembering that his fee must fall within the budget and not in addition to it).
Based on alot of experience sorting out post contract disputes, if you know little about building you need to spend alot of time thinking about the direct labour route as it wil need alot of your time, professional supervision and costs.
Good advice, thank you!Best of luck with your project and dont rush to site. Spend as much time as you can possible spend working though each and every aspect and cost before you engage any builder
I clearly need to get used to the quoting thing - apologies for the messy post above!
you will still have lots of decisions to make re finishes/furnishing etc
