    Surely a lot of these issues would have shown up in a structural survey?

    I feel sorry for them. It's a money pit.

    The new roof is due to the mezzanine.

    No surveyor could know that the foundations were on sand. It would be totally impractical to check every foundation like that in every house. You could do it, but it would cost a lot.

    It's just a **** build.

    Why does he insist on showing them homes that will sway their minds and budget during a build as opposed to before the build?

    Some of the best homes on the programme are the homes not designed by dermo

    Another common problem with Dermot... he keeps changing his fricken mind. Can he not have his mind made up on the design and say here's the plan. Now go.

    It's always a few wks in and he's like oh well this has to change blah blah blah. Id hate to be builder working for him.

    Seems to be the norm on that road. €200,000 cheaper if you don't need the view. Location, Location, Location.

    Yeah, I think I remember it. I used to go swimming on the beach behind the house.

    If they've applied for and received planning permission can the design change?

    The original plan was a fantastic house. Not sure where he is going to end up as he keeps changing his mind
