Important to remember that none of my time and labour has been costed. Throughout the build I project managed materials and other contractors. I physically worked on the building on average four days a week. I also sourced a lot of materials and went to pick them up.

I was planning to get below £1000 per m2. We just missed this but I am very pleased with the quality of the build that we have ended up with.
Without the skilled work from Sean Morrison who did all of the ground works, the help from Bekah Sparrow when we were raising and making the frames and of course Simon Bell's patience with me and great breadth of knowledge and skills throughout, it wouldn't have happened at all. A really big thanks to all, not least of all to Kate Prentice who has willingly, most of the time, gone along with my hair brained schemes and projects. She is also very good at making the buildings live, with a great sense of design and how materials work with each other to make the spaces a joy to inhabit xxx
