In this episode of the Self-Builders Podcast, host Sam Taylor speaks with Adam, who shares the story of his first self-build project in North Hampshire. Adam explains how he and his family found their plot, how an existing outbuilding is being transformed into a three-bed family home, and the realities of managing a self-build while living nearby in temporary accommodation.

Adam walks through the key stages of the project so far — from planning permission and design decisions through to managing builders, navigating unexpected delays, and keeping control of the budget. He also shares honest reflections on the challenges that come with self-building and what he wishes he had known before starting.

We discuss the importance of:

• Finding the right plot and spotting opportunity
• Working through the planning process and extensions
• Managing delays and unexpected setbacks
• Why cashflow is critical in a self-build project
• Project managing a build alongside experienced trades
• Lessons Adam learned from his first self-build journey
