General discussion / Re: building a house

Hi everyone,

I put a message in a few months ago and have since started the build. Moving along pretty well at the minute with blockwork moving up to wall plate. Costs have been reasonable so far, but I know the fun is about to start when we get into roofs, windows, M&E, etc.

Just on this - has anyone used a renewable generation installer to design and install their M&E? I am specifically thinking of Dalys in Lisburn. I am bound by mortgage conditions to have a heat pump and triple glaze but would like to explore solar, MVHR systems, etc. while I am at it to make the most of it. You'll only get a chance to do it once!

Any advice or experiences appreciated!

Hi all, any advice appreciated. Just wondering what the views are on the building at the minute - I am planning to start in a couple of weeks (no spade in the ground yet) and am wondering am I wise in the head? Mortgage, PP, BC, etc. all approved.

Is there anyone in the thick of it at the minute and what are prices, availability of materials, etc. like? Are these likely to come down? House is near touching 3000sq ft. Building in the north.
