Jo'ann and Andy

The House That 拢100k Built Series 2
Episode 4 of 14

Following people trying to build a house on less than 拢100k. Jo'ann and Andy are attempting to build a home that will never produce a heating or electricity bill.

Jo'ann and Andy are attempting to not only build a home from scratch for less than 拢100k, but also one that will never produce a heating or electricity bill!

Building a low-cost home with such high eco credentials means something has to give. Bare concrete floors and breeze block walls are all helping the budget, but will their compact home feel more basic bunker than family home?

Piers Taylor must broaden their horizons so takes them to an award-winning eco-home in Nottingham. He tries to prove that sustainability should be pushing their ambition for a beautiful home, not limiting it. They discover how using expensive finishes only where you touch them will save money and where to salvage high quality fixtures and fittings. Back at the house, Piers encourages them to take on the lessons, first by designing a lighting scheme with a just sheet of acrylic and a 拢5 light fitting.

But, faced with the daily grind of self-building, it's easy to lose motivation. Kieran Long challenges them to find ways to bring joy and delight into their home, even visiting a house in London that features a swing in the kitchen!

But, as their budget runs low, decisions on where to invest and where to save become harder and harder. Will Jo'Ann and Andy take a leap of faith towards creative low cost design ideas - or will they stick to practical ones?
