The dream of designing and constructing a property ourselves is not an unusual one. In our day-to-day lives we all secretly believe that we could actually do it better than any property developer or architect. Why? Because we are living our lives with all of the requirements that are 100% unique to us.
Based on 29% of lottery winners, one of the biggest desires of a mod-con home is a hot tub. Of course, an additional home, somewhere nice and hot and relaxing was also a big winner.

These unorthodox designs often come from an inherent passion. Much like the guitar-shaped home in Georgia which was created by a country music fan.
Whatever your fancy, there are a few very important things to consider when constructing your own property. The professionals don't always get it 100% right, but amateurs rarely do. Local and national building legislations need to be followed as well as, of course, safety guidelines. Dawson & Associates is able to provide a property survey as well as act as your independent Building Inspector – this could save you a huge amount of time and money in the short and long run.
