5.0 out of 5 stars How to get a home in London and make a Profit!, 11 Dec 2007
I discovered this DVD through a recommendation from the Royal Society of Architects. I thought that pretty much every way of developing a sight for profit let alone that dream factor, had been pretty much covered and sown up by the big boys. But wow what an eye opener and for an actor not a developer to do this off ideas he had picked up through part time jobs! Well I guess it just shows what we can all achieve if we put our mind to it. My only regret is that this DVD was not available when I rebuilt my own house, it could have saved me thousands in plumbing cost alone! But more then that opened me up to thinking about building in a totally different way. I thoroughly recommend this to any one refurbishing an existing house or more importantly wondering how to have their own Home in a world in which prices are spiralling out of control. No wonder Kevin McLoud got behind it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent tips!, 11 Dec 2007
By polly andrews (hampshire, england) - See all my reviews
this was a great watch and i have recommended it to friends, not who are necessarily building their own place, but just the quirky way that Monty approaches everything makes an interesting watch. Particularly helpful to me were tips on how to present ideas to planners - what to look out for and how to present.

4.0 out of 5 stars Think beyond This abode, 23 Mar 2009
The challenge, chase, because are all good reasons for somebody/anybody and everybody to achieve something BUT to use different puzzles to build the right picture for yourself that works is as rare as finding a group of selfless politicians.
On this disc you get the opportunity to see the dream to reality with more detailed explanations and reasoning behind this paradigm. The utilisation of material from areas that are not normally associated with house construction is excellent. Those with an open mind will love it, the I have an idea but....may just find this the spark for inspiration.
You are also walked through some practical sessions for the uninitiated and some fiddly bits that you would not think about, until you tried what is demonstrated, is explained in easily understood language.
In short think outside of house building and think of the home you want, that may have parts from areas as diverse as a yacht, car etc.
Well recommended for ideas.
