Exmouth | Season 5 Episode 6 | Grand Designs UK With Kevin McCloud | Full Episode

[@ModernWtchTrials]

Great lesson why you don’t cut corners on an architect and project manager. I would of downsized the house and put out for detailed plans and a project manager. You can always add on eventually if you want to expand.

[@nicktw8688]

On most Grand Design episodes, budget problems could simply be solved by downsizing the build size by 30%. Oh yea....and don't cheap out on not hiring a project manager.

"its like watching an elelphant piss" ! , now that made me laugh out loud, kevin !

[@rootkit0]

If I ever will have an opportunity to build my own house, I solemnly swear to learn from all the mistakes I saw on Grand Design

[@andreaandrea6716]

Yes!!! Same.

[@m_v_g]

One of the greatest shows on TV. BTW, this is Season 5 Episode 10, not 6.Where is Episode 6?

[@TheDrachenboot]

One of the great things about Grand Designs is the title music. Thank you, David Lowe.

Por favor pongan una traducción al español me encanta el programa,lo vi en Netflix mil veces

[@CKPill]

Love this show

[@pippapowling2306]

Watched this episode 3x: makes me cringe what they went through in terms of monies coming up out of ground; doing things out of sequence; and much more... but they made it!! I find in building works there's always a solution - even if it costs. Builders are so adept at making on site decisions to resolve issues, whatever they are and even if it takes much head-scratching, time away from the problem, they get it done! This is a beautiful outcome. Beautiful home. ❤

This house was built before publication of 'Building Your Custom Home For Dummies'!

[@appnzllr]

Ddigging deep on an English shore is asking for storms to drive water at the house. You need to build high.

[@drrydog]

just put in an infinity pool, out the back doors, and fuck off with the putting the house close to the ocean. no need to be stupid. Your kids will never even have a home there to enjoy.

[@ouiouane8311]

Amen to that.

[@Mark.Watson]

They should have kept it as one level. Easier to build and better not to have stairs as you get older.

[@swanvictor887]

Impressive house that cost a darn site more than 200k to build! I wonder if they are still there, 20 years on?

[@andreaandrea6716]

I think they are NOT. I read, under a different posting of this show (I forget where), that they sold up. Not surprising.

[@ouiouane8311]

It didn't wash away?

[@cpoller]

Constructing a proper building is super complicated. I will never understand the ego of people who think they can manage it themselves when they have zero experience in the field. Even professionals struggle because there are so many things that can go wrong or get missed.

[@andreaandrea6716]

Exactly!!

[@jenniferford2067]

I always think this. The money they “saved” by not having a project manager is almost always outweighed by the extra costs and time spent while they try to figure out how to do it.

[@woutkoopman]

And yet more than enough people pull it off. As a project manager myself I feel that if you have a planners brain, and are not affraid to ask the tough questions and look for the tough answers, then anyone can do it.

[@cpoller]

@@woutkoopman There are a lot of people that get it done eventually. Given enough time and money anyone can do anything, doesn’t mean it was time, stress, or cost effective. But yes, some people have that planners brain and will do the research, listen to the people they hire, make good decisions on when to pull back their wild ideas, and do a great job.

[@lisal4824]

I’ve lived at the beach and have a property a stones thrown from the ocean now. The elements are harsh and if you start with shoddy, substandard products and construction you’re setting yourself up for endless headaches and a money pit.

[@jusartable]

Why are there no subtitle options in the video?

[@drrydog]

that budget, for that home, completely delusional

[@victorvandenbelt2179]

Penny wise… A very expensive lesson.

[@JusticeSR71]

"Bungalow" ...is derived from a Hindi word, rather incorrectly applied by the British in reference to what is really a HOUSE.

[@andreaandrea6716]

I always thought that it meant 'a single story' ... but people use the term for all sorts of different combinations.

[@sas19092008]

good example, why buildings should not last longer than 30years....

Bath filling "like an elephant pissing" - actually elephant's piss is very good for your health ....

[@jackpaice]

Jesus, the 00s were so horrible in terms of architecture and interior design. White boxes filled with glass. Just ugh

Julie must have a magic wand...hollywoodproduction on their mickey mouse budget....someone must be getting screwed?

Season 5, episode 10: The Miami-Style Beach House. Kevin McCloud meets Julie and Mark Veysey, whose Grand Design is a stunning Miami-style beach house on a beachfront plot overlooking the south Devon coast. Julie and Mark have had several holidays in Miami, and Julie wanted to recreate the outdoor beachfront lifestyle back in England, living in a house full of light and sun, within easy reach of the waves.

Ineptitude is painful to witness.

I feel very sorry for the Husband!!!

[@07laines07]

Oh he’s probably just the other side of her bookend… they just don’t show it so much… remember he’s the reason the house flooded because he wanted to go with a cheaper roof… they are two peas in a pod 😂
