  • I have absolutely no idea what I am doing... I assume retention money is an amount of money held back until inspection/completion?

    Speccing isn't an issue, I'm going to go fucking nuts on details, down to where I want tiles to line up.

    PM wise, my jobs kinda part time, or rather not too demanding, and I like things done my way, so might step. up to the challenge, although I am prob under estimating things and would be more suited just doing sign off and things like that.

    Assume you kicked your place off by commissioning an architect?

  • Yep. Knowing what you want - exactly what you want - and how you want it done is important.

    Yes. Studio 304 - https://www.studio-304.com/ - who actually found us Kensington Green when we had to sack the first set of builders!

    Jelly. I presume you have no building knowledge though - that could be an issue.

  • Cheers for the replies... would be up for boring you over a pint at Easts sometime... very kind of you to offer a tour too! Love the look of your place and would be up for that once the wheels are rolling on the project, or at least started...

    Studio 304 noted and saved, will get in touch...

    No real building knowledge, but not afraid to read up - example: when I had my kitchen refitted the gas guy wouldn't refit my hob as it didnt have a FDU or whatever, but I double checked and it was fine due to it being a pre some year model and a refit not a swap, even had to get written confirmation from Gas Safe themselves before he believed me.

    Thanks again!

    edit: this is pretty much what I would be after internally, doesn't strike me as rocket appliances, or something I would need an architect for as it's more aesthetics? Taking a wall out and sinking a floor is something I would expect a builder to have knowledge of? https://www.studio-304.com/projects/hollybank-avenue?index=8
