Back to the drawing board...

Well, I had everything ready for our new project. All of the calcs had been done and we were all ready to break ground on the site. However, I was approached by someone who was very interested in our plot of land and who would like us to build a house for them... Great! Except that the house that I had already designed and was going to build does not fit with their budget and specification. Nevertheless, although it will mean a delay in the building work starting, it is obviously better to have a buyer lined up from the start of the project and a contract in place. So, it is back to the drawing board... I now have to prepare some concept drawings to give an idea of the sort of property we will be able to build for them to meet their budget and required spec. Once we talk through all of the options and all parties are happy, we will draw up a contract and begin the detailed design work. It is a little bit harder for me to estimate how long it will take to finalise he design when a third party involved... Obviously you have to be sure that the design is exactly as the client wants it, so it normally takes a little longer to tweak the final design. I will post some 3D renderings as soon as I have a (new) final design.

The time that I have put into the initial design, that we were going to build, will not be wasted as we will build it on another plot of land at a later date.
