Creating Your Guest House Accommodation

Back to Creating Your Guest House

Sorry I was side tract for a few days.

If your mate’s a builder, with a few good recommendations to his name and knows what he’s doing, tell him what you want, and let him get on with it, although I would still recommended you engage an architect if the work is substantial. The building Reg’s Officer will have to be involved in most cases to make sure the work is being done correctly a plus for you and if the builders any good it won’t bother him, step back if it dose.

An even less expensive way (and you need to be a good DIY man here) is you go into an intended bed room, you find out where the nearest soil stack is in relation to the room, if it’s in the left hand corner that’s where the loo is located and you build your en-suite in that corner, in other words the DIY man, O! Please forgive me, the DIY person in the partnership runs the job bringing in plumbers, electricians, joiners and decorators when and where they need them, again even though your running the job you can request the building officer to call in and have a look round periodically.

There are a few big issues I need to address at this point that will save you some heart ache down the road.

Step back and think of what could be

Let’s say you go for the one room at a time option. Before you get started just step back and think of what you want to achieve and what could be achieved with the property you’ve got. Take off the blinkers, the reason you would use the one room approach is because you don’t want to borrow a large amount of money from the bank and create lage fixed costs.
That’s all well and good but make sure you spend enough at the beginning.
