Ask the Expert: Design & Build Pitfalls

Brian Corry of Selfbuild+ asks self-build expert John Corless how to avoid the most common mistakes when building your home, and how to avoid having to make changes on site. They discuss:

  • How to put together the design brief: unique for you and your site
  • Avoiding design creep: the right house size/footprint and how not to oversize rooms
  • Identifying design issues
  • The utility room: big enough for how it will be used
  • Smart choices: rainwater harvesting
