Making decisions
Your role therefore is getting to understand what
you want, size, style, area, price, how it is to be achieved, how it is
to be funded.
You then select the plot that is right for you taking
a lot of things into account, as well as availability and price.
You get detailed planning for the build, get
quotes from different people for the work they are to do, commission
those you want to undertake the work for you, issuing agreements,
negotiate trade discounts, buy the materials, schedule everything,
people, materials and other items, and check that all is as it should
be.
Make sure that you keep within the rules,
inspections occur at the right points and you keep control of what you
spend.
If you don't want to do this yourself you can
either get a project manager to do it for you or use a package provider.
You can do all this without joining us within the
club, there are good specialist magazines, books, charts and more available
to you.

The
clubs approach
We help members, by supplying them with
work books, these have linked questions, and lead them through the
decisions they need to make. You still make all the many decisions,
but have information of what you need to decide and the main
options available to you, and makes sure you don't overlook things
or do anything in the wrong order.
A consultant works with you, helps you
identify what else you want to learn, and where information is available
from, does most of the work in finding your plot, helps you with
negotiations, and is available to help you if you have a problem.
We will help you appoint a project manager if you want one.
A system to plan the build and monitor it
is provided as are a vast number of standard agreements, forms and
letters to make everything easy to do. A trade card gets you trade
prices.
