Documenting your self-build journey: Instagram inspiration

There are many factors to consider and questions to ask yourself when taking your first steps on your self-build journey

From finalising your dream design to choosing your fixtures and finishes, and every important step in-between: each phase marks a momentous moment that will shape your future and your future homeextension or outbuilding.

Creating a social media account

A wonderful way to look back on your journey is to capture each milestone as they unfold… For example, your groundworks: although this stage may not always look aesthetically pretty for a quick snap, it is a fundamental stepping stone to progress your self-build project, and with this in mind, we recommend you ask yourself early on how you may like to document your journey.

Our clients choose to do this in many different ways, one of which includes creating a dedicated social media account for their project, for example on Instagram. If this is something you are interested in beginning, here is a list of some of our clients’ accounts you may like to follow and/or take inspiration from:
