    It is what it is

    It's a tv show about building your own home in the UK and Ireland. It shows the up and downs and difficulties involved in a self build. Reviews here on IMDB are pretentious to say the least. Over aliasing every aspect of it it's a diy show for mid week tv pre prime time. And just to say one last thing. 18 years it running. Season 18. So it's doing something right.

    Good, but it gets a little repetitive

    What's about all those people thinking they could be project coordinators in their spare time? Or they don't need an architect? Of course, the show wouldn't be as interesting without it, but the same old same old budget problem is getting a little annoying. First they want to build their dream home as big and pompous as possible But all of them have wrong budget expectations. Then they want it built in months during the worst possible snow and rain storms. And in the end they magically have enough money for it, but it took 4 years instead of 2. I love seeing new ides for houses, learn more about architecture and building problems, but I don't need the personal drama in each episode. Will they have enough money? Will the weather get better? Will they finally move in? That gets a little boring. The architecture itself should be the focus. And the building site.

    Perfect show. Period.

    My wife and me are enjoying so much this series as it has everything. Kevin is really great in knowledge, presentation, energy, witty humor and communication. The houses are amazing on so many levels, educational and a joy to watch. It's atmosphere, soft music background and the original content every episode brings makes it so entertaining and inspiring to watch. Well done!

    Pretentious people

    The new Grand Designs was such a disappointment tonight. £££££££ but no taste or environmental protection. I hate these silly people who ruin habitats and don't care about the local area. Sod off you lot. Rich idiots are unfashionable.

    Very interesting insight

    Really interested in all your high end projects! I am a builder and have been learning the trade from day 1 as a Labourer twenty five years ago because I was fascinated and in awe of quality tradesmen! They were of my opinion people to look up to in those days, it seemed that quality and perfection were the order of the day's and as I learned and strived to become one of the best in my field of bricklaying , structural , groundwork, , paver, new drainage and with experience a very good general knowledge of "the building trade" I have found that it seems to be the fashion for a new bread of so called builders that are purely clueless but know how to present themselves in a way of being experts wearing sign written clothes driving useless 4by4 pick up trucks that are spotless and useless for picking up materials , employ chancers for next to nothing and let them loose on poor unsuspecting citizens that are giving their life savings to these greedy pretentious pretenders with no regard for the the old ways of quality and respect ! Please could you run some sort of insight into one of your shows for the public that can't afford million pound builds but once in a lifetime spenders that are bled dry by these professional looking outfits that set their business up to pay slave labor and charge the clueless small fortunes and give the real hard working fair and experienced a bad name.
