It can be an expensive mistake if a house is not correctly set out on site. This happens too often, so here are some basics for getting it right.
When asked what is the difference between a building project that proceeds smoothly and one that has a more tortuous path to completion one word immediately comes to the fore. If this word is applied to all projects then the construction is almost always easier.
