1. 50 year old brickwork tutor built loads of houses for other people - and now has an opportunity to build own(although got to get married first). Planning permission granted. Ideally; looking to knock the existing house down and re-build to high quality in record time.

2. Hi. We have a former 12th century monastery in the French-Catalan Pyrenees and are planning extensive renovation and rebuilding to turn it into a retreat centre. The paperwork and bureacracy is almost done. Would GD be interested in this unique project ?

3. Would you consider a project in Australia as my wife and I love the show and are looking to build on 3 acres. The design will be inspired by Arthur Casas and several other Brazilian architects. Thanks Gareth & Sophie

5. We bought our building land in 2004 in France. All on going, but do you have a tv programme somewhere which shows the real life exploits of ex-pats, thinking they can do it in 3 years, and has now become a longer- term plan. This is real life, four kids comong home and spoiling our escape!! Building work goes well, we are building 3 sites at same time, 2 new build, one renovation. Big discussions re services and feed wires(??)over sumptuous suppers. Two familes live there already, but our situation is that we run a B&B in UK, as well as fire service and bulding works here to supplement the project in France. Can we interest you in a touch of rural France and how to exist, job wise here and there?

7. Hi, we are due to start our project in approximately eight weeks time. My wife, three children and I are due to embark on an exciting project. One year ago we moved to our house which used to be three individual farm cottages which were knocked into one property. The property came with just under five acres of land which includes a very nice natural pond. We want to transform the property into a light and modern home for us all to enjoy. The overall extention to the property is 133% larger overall than the original size of the house. As a fan of grand designs we would love to take part. Thanking you for your time. Brian and Leanne Duthie
