What nobody told us before we started our self build - everything BEFORE the build takes ages

6 videos in and we still haven't broken ground 😅 If you're thinking about self-building, this is the episode that tells you the honest truth about the timeline - the delays, the bureaucracy, the decisions you don't expect, and whether we'd actually do it again knowing what we know now....

We cover the difference between planning permission and building warrant (they're not the same thing and it matters!), what materials week actually looks like, why we set up Brinno timelapse cameras, and our biggest struggles so far.

We're Iqra and Waqaar a British Pakistani couple, building our forever home completely mortgage-free, from an empty plot to a finished family home.
