One of the major issues around building the house of your dreams is that you will inevitably be living on a building site at some point.  For us, we always have the extra challenge of ensuring that our autistic daughter feels settled, safe and included in our plans.

However, with so many things to think about when you embark upon a new project, our daughter's autism means that we have a sharper focus on how to start.  We know that we have to make sure that she has a dedicated space of her own, a functioning bathroom and to feel included in the build - on her own terms, of course!

When you start a project, you have to ensure that you do what best suits you and your family, so that you are all settled from the         beginning with the basics and you can then truly go on to create the home of your dreams.
