 Essential for self builders! December 29, 2008
Mr. Jorden Stones (Holywell, Uk)
I completed my first self build 2 years ago and I am currently planning my next. If I would have bought this book when I was designing my first it would have made life so much easier. Great read with so many good idea's that you can take from one design and mix with others to create your dream home. Can't wait for edition 2 to come out? Hopefully before i build my next!
 Un-imaginative execution of a great idea November 30, 2008
Assaf (Amsterdam, The Netherlands)
This book has a great potential. But an un-imaginative execution. The illustrations used use same colors and do not bring to life the house vision. I would expect something better from a design book.
The book plans are displayed in no particular order and do not allow for a quick find of a plan. Little information is show per plan. Also, you are not allowed to use the plans for your own as they are copyrighted. So probably have to contact the architect (conveniently placed next to each plan).
The floor is still open for anyone who can produce a better version.
Very imformative and a must have! March 20, 2008

After buying most of the book shelf of building plan books and being disappointed that most are American designs, I was surprised to find a truly British design book that gives you ideas for designs and costings. A fabulous book!
Great book March 6, 2008

This is a very nice book, and very good value for money at this price. A wide range of designs, and in full colour too. It lacks any technical or construction data that is essential when it comes to drawing proper designs, but I would not expect to find such information in a book like this. What let's this book down is the lack of side and rear elevations for each design (though you can work most of this information out from the plan), and a conspicuous lack of dimensions, inclusion of which would make the product far more useful. Still a very good book for what you're paying though.
A self builders must have December 13, 2007

When you are looking to build your own property, you can end up wasting a lot of money on plan books (especially when they are from America). This book however is fantastic, it is perfectly laid out, giving you price in ascending order for how many bedrooms etc you require (so you can build a four bedroom property for 140,000 or a two bedroom property for this price). The book is realistic it shows houses from a budget price and has traditional and contemporary designs.
It tells you step by step how to go about building your house, which some people think is simple, but it is not (I have learnt a hell of a lot from experiance that things have to be done in a certain order, or a lot of time is wasted and labourers are getting paid for sitting around).
My only fault with this book is......that I didn't want it to end, I have a coffee in one hand and this book in the other and realise that I to, can actually have quite an imposing property on a budget, this book takes you one step further towards your dream and makes you buzz with excitement.
