Cath & Andy's tips<br />
• Write up an architectural brief before you start.<br />
• Use your current house to measure up spaces and get a feel for<br />
what size things need to be.<br />
• Purchase the best windows you can that your budget allows.<br />
• Look at fixtures and fittings before you need to decide. That<br />
way it’s not overwhelming or pressurised.<br />
• Know your site, where the prevailing wind comes from and<br />
how the sun traverses across the site, so you can align your<br />
house for maximum sun and shelter.<br />
Build time:<br />
One year<br />
Favourite feature:<br />
Large lounge windows overlooking<br />
sea view.<br />
Hardest decision:<br />
Starting! Nerve wracking buying the<br />
section, everything much easier after<br />
that!<br />
Wish they had:<br />
Done this sooner, loving living on<br />
the hills.<br />
