Site cut, footings, steel, the engineer's check and the pour, day by day (sample diary).
Site diary
Notes from our building sites and the design office: what happens at each stage, what it costs and what we learn.
Studs, trusses and bracing go up in about five weeks, and nothing is covered until the inspection passes (sample).
Plaster, kitchen, bathrooms, doors and paint: nine weeks where the house starts to look like home (sample).
