Kit House
We built a kit house nearly 3 years ago. I totally agree with Skinnydog. I would recommend using a contractor to do the whole lot. I think each company in Caithness has their good points and bad points, its just your luck. My parents waited over 6 months for plans from Norscot who had originally told them it would be a month. Then they went to G&C who did the planning, but after 3 months waiting we contacted planning ourselves to find out they had been waiting on things from G&C for 3 months and had never received them. I used a someone else for my house and did the services and planning myself. It all ran smoothly, but I know other people who slate the company who did my house. I honestly think its your donald duck. Bertobear we didn't project manage, we left that to the company as we both worked, but we did go out to the site every day for a coffee and a catch up with the boys. It was really beneficial as if you see them every day you can sort out any problems as they arise, as long as you don't hassle them. It worked out great for us! We also managed to get the sparky to add a couple of light fittings and plugs to places we never thought of at the planning stage. If we hadn't been there every day, we wouldn't have a plug socket for our computer. Now that would have been something to crack up over!!
