What a stressful project building a house can be, especially when you take the unusual step of actually being the contract builder. Kevin being “hands on” with the tools as an amateur, both of us being in our seventies and project managing the whole exercise over an 18 month period. That’s what we did. Nuts you might say but also very satisfying. And oh what a beautiful home we have and there is no way we could have done it without Scott. He took our hand drawn plans and raised them to another level, introducing drama and beauty where we hadn’t expected it. Advising changes to our design, researching many of the options for our building project, talking us through the pitfalls we could encounter and visiting on site whenever we required. He also backed us, somewhat nervously at first (we think), in our self-build exercise but once he realised Kevin was very serious about wielding the tools himself he was behind us all the way. Scott also skilfully managed to negotiate the tricky situation of being the referee between Kevin and I, two very strong-willed people, who often had opposing ideas. We thank him so much for his help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone wishing to plan and build a new house or renovation.
