Did you collaborate with the build design as well as the decor?

The builder is Sterling Creek Builders. I was brought in once framed, to share vision on finishes, and the staging plan. It was a Parade of Homes model we completely staged.

I've had a look at free offerings for floor planning software. It depends on the level you want to go to. Sweethome3D http://www.sweethome3d.com/ is truly free because it's open source (no fees if you want to draw more than one plan etc). I've found I can get reasonably detailed with it from layout perspective but I doubt it would be good enough for a drawings for a building permit (although I'm not certain of this). As a graphic designer you'll have an affinity for graphics software. If you want to be able to draw more detailed drawings Id take the time to learn Sketchup. I know some architects use this as their software of choice. I'm definitely with you @Jason Carter - the only way to really control your budget is to plan ahead and choose and price everything that you can think of before you break ground. Otherwise you're in a situation where you have to make quick compromises during the build which leads to mistakes etc. In my work we use requirements tracking tools. I think it would be really helpful to communicate to the contractors exactly what is going to go on in the room - why the extra outlets are there and in the position they're in. That way they have a deeper understanding of why the specs are the way they are and they don't make decisions that detract from the design - they might even come up with suggestions that support the ideas behind the designs.

I think it looks great so far. Many of the ads for claw foot tubs, and magazines, show them with encaustic/cement tile and plain white surround. Also, you did something creative and attractive with the tile layout. I love the nickel shine of your clawfoot legs too. If you can maybe get a corner shelf on one side of the wall, you'll have a place for soap, candle or bubble bath. And maybe hotel towel holder on another wall to get the height up. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Hi all, I currently have an architects plan for a new rear extension. The architect has put it to tender with two builders. The first figure came in at €80,000. This outlined every single cost in a detailed report. Unfortunately it’s way above the budget i specified to the architect (€60,000). The second builder has come back with €60,000. I asked the architect for a price breakdown as before but his response was: “The contractor has agreed to do the revised works as per my tender drawings. He maintains that this is still very tight from his perspective. The figure therefore is a lump sum to cover all works.” My concern is that a) The job will go over budget b) the job won’t be completed to good quality. My question is how can I be guaranteed any of the above? I asked for a reference but I feel like the architect might just want this project closed and finished as we started discussions about this last year. Any advice or opinion is much appreciated.
