- So the day has come. As Danwood promised at 7.00 am on Monday morning the first truck from Poland arrived. The build was magnificent thing to watch- "a ballet in hard hats". And by 5.30 pm on Tuesday the full house structure was up. A house built in 2 days, and she is beautiful. See how they did it, and marvel at the simplicity of it all.
Wow! Truly amazing to watch Harry, thank you. And both your smiles say it all. 👏👏👍👌
Great to see! Ours is due week commencing 9th May!🤞
Thanks for doing these videos Harry.
Glad to see it's happened! Looks great. And you're totally right about the Polish workers. They have been amazing.
Cool 👍👍🏠🏠
Hello Harry, thank you so much for posting your self build journey with Dan Wood. It has been a fantastic resource for us and has helped us immensely in our decision to go with a Dan Wood house too. We are in Norfolk too and would be really grateful if we could visit to see your house and pick your brains!
Hi!
Congratulations on going the Danwood way...you will be more than happy with the process. Love for you to come and see my house and answer any questions..it is still a work in progress, should be completed by end of May. You can email me at harryvangorkum@gmail.com.
Wow. Fantastic, and we’ll deserved, my friend. Hope to see it in person some day. Enjoy!
Thanks Mark...welcome anytime!
Amazing Journey. Help me so much. Will be nice to see more videos following up inside the house
Hi
Thanks! I am filming every step of the inside build... completion they say at end of May. So will post video when all done.
It's good that you spoke up, finally! I was already beginning to worry if there would be a delay due to the Danwood plant's location near the eastern border. Good to see the smile on your face. And I'm waiting for more videos. I have managed to throw only one so far, but I will do some more datailed one in better quality... one day :)
Hi Marcin,
Was this your company that completed the build?
@@ammaarali5190 Hi Ali, i wish😁. No its Danwood a sister Co. of Budimex. Danwood is a biiig company in the year 2020 they build over 2500 houses all over Europe and Budimex is known for Giant projects.
Well done 💪 I think I will follow your steps 🤔 thank you for the videos they are very good guidance🙏
Than you and good luck..you won’t regret it.
What’s the company name from Poland?
@@ammaarali5190 Danwood.
Hi Harry, can we please all have an update ? Can't wait to see it completely finished, Thouroughly enjoyed the series 👑
Hi Ross
Loving the new house..busy editing latest video ,but still no WiFi so can't post it yet.
Congrats on the house! I have followed your build journey and happy to see it all come together for you.
One thing I haven't seen addressed anywhere else concerning Dan Wood's houses is the sound/noise insulation between rooms. Would you mind commenting on how sound proof the rooms are? Can I hear a conversation in the next room through the wall or through the floors as in popular UK developer houses?
Thank you!
I will let you know about sound insulation once the house is finished. However, I have no worries that it will be good. One thing that surprised me is that they also concrete/skree the top floor too, so that will eliminate any noise between the floors, and no creaking etc.
We've just had our house finished and the air and sound quality is excellent. The overall build quality is much higher than most UK house developers - something our building control officer commented on when he inspected.
Hello Harry! Thank you for your video journey. We have been watching with excitement! I was wondering if you or anyone else following had a recommendation for an architect to support us through planning? We are in Wiltshire but not totally limited to professionals in this region. We heard that many are reluctant because of the limited amount of design needed. So any pointers from the Dan-Wood community would be much appreciated! Thanks!
You probably don't need an architect but an architectural assistant would do. We were lucky that my dad's a retired architect but he found the Danwood process really confusing as it is so different to the normal UK process. However he was amazing in getting all the planning stuff done for us which Danwood don't help with at all.
Dear Harry, thank you for your videos! We have to choose an off-site house manufacturer for our small housing co-operative - a group of people building homes for themselves (custom build) close to London. We initially thought that Scotframe could be an option, but from your video, I found that you chose an overseas supplier (Danwood). I would assume that you checked all the local alternatives but still preferred a Polish producer. Did you find it more cost-effective?
Hi Slav
Thanks for watching.
Yes..highly recommend Danwood...really good in price comparison to UK companies and much more transparent with actual costs which I found hard to find in the UK
Good luck!
@@myselfbuildjourney1219 Dear Harry, thank you very much for your prompt reply. I value your feedback! I will contact DanWood right now (the nearest regional agent in the UK).
Kind regards, Slav
Hey Harry what's the latest on your house? I guess it should be finished and you're in? Please post another video as I'd love to see the final product!
Hi Harry, not seen an update for a while, how’s the build going?
Hi
All good.
I will post updates soon Had the handover on June 11th, so been busy moving in and building the kitchen.
Will do video of all stages from build to handover in a week or so.
V happy btw
@@harryvangorkum7782 awesome, looking forward to seeing the house completed and thanks for sharing all of this 👌🏼
So wonderful to watch really pleased for you
I'm hoping to get planning for a Facebook house.
Could I ask you did you do your own foundations or Danwood.
Is it very complicated?
How long for interior?
Look forward to hearing from you
Regards
Hi Julie-
So I found the groundwork team to do my foundations through recommendations from my Danwood agents as they know the teams who know how to build their specific slab foundations the their specifications.
@@myselfbuildjourney1219 ok I'll do same if my planning is past Thank you
Hi Harry, thanks so much for sharing your journey! By coincidence my wife and I completed a custom build just down the road in Little Melton not long ago! I'd love to have a chat with you about your experience doing a self build (and see your fantastic new home!). I've sent you a message on Facebook. Thanks :)
Hi
Thanks for watching and congratulations on building your own home. I would love to pop over sometime and see it and discuss the self build process. Once the house is complete I would be happy to invite you over to see it.
Hi Harry, missing your vids. What’s happening?
Hello
Any news on this project? All gone very quiet?
Hi
All great..have moved in and loving it. I working on next video which will take you from build to handover..all the steps to look out for. Unfortunately I have no broadband connection to house so far..so cannot edit and post it, but as soon as I can I will.
@@myselfbuildjourney1219 Thank's for the update, can't wait for the final installment. BTW we've been put off Danwood due to the price rises :(
Have they managed to get the house finished ?
Hi Con
Moved into house on June 11 and living it. Still sorting out the move and unpacking boxes, but will be posting my next video soon on the whole process from the build to handover.
@@myselfbuildjourney1219 looking forward to seeing the build
@@myselfbuildjourney1219 Hi, how long was that from "delivery" initial build to completion to live in it?? Any unexpected costs along the way? Considering Danwood bit a bit scared by potentially epic amounts of admin to make it all happen! Thanks in advance.
@@emilyb5557 Hi Emily, The time from delivery to move in varies ( some are done ins 6 weeks (!), but on average they reckon it will take 8-10 weeks. There are no unexpected costs as far as Danwood goes. The price they quote at the start of the project ( when you sign the contract) is the price you pay, unless you make changes along the way of course.
