29 North Parade
The existing mundic bungalow was purchased in 2016 with planning obtained later that year. After receiving funds via a self-build mortgage the project started on site in April 2017 and was completed in 18 months. The project was managed and overseen by the owners and the building was organised in packages of work (such as ground works and drainage, building envelope, windows, roof, internal boarding etc). Many elements were tendered out and undertaken by separate builders, however, a substantial amount of build work was also undertaken by the owners. Doing a build in this way does reply on some knowledge of the building process, otherwise using a main contractor is advisable.
