I have been looking for a site to self build in my local area but the sites available are overpriced and nothing hectic, a friend off mine has now offered a site to me which was left to him. I have looked at this site and it is a great site, by far the best around. He said we will sell it for the average price of sites in the area but on the condition that I get him to build my house. He is a brickie and the quality of his work is very good so i have no problems with that side of things. He is on holidays at the moment so i said i'd start looking at plans and about to get the archtect to draw them up, when this is done he will apply for the planning permission and take it from there. We haven't talked about money yet as it will depend on the plans, but i'm not sure what way to go about it should i get him to give me a detailed list of the cost of each stage or let him come up with a final figure and pay that when the house is done. Should i get prices myself also. We would be good friends and want everything to work out for both of us.
