Mortgage Approved!!!!!!!!!

Finally, we got approval for our mortgage. Now we start thinking of the build.
Background, my site is not a straight forward site as its on a slope and its too level so this'll need to be done first.
Theres not too much soil on the land as there is alot of broken rock under the surface (about 1 meter).

What i plan to do in the next 3 months -
I've a digger lined up to level the site and get it ready for the raft foundation for the house. The garage may be done also..
Stockpile any top soil to be used at a later date. Any rock/stones that are dug up will be used for the drive way.
Put in all drainage that needs to be in.
Investigate if Geothermal heating system will work or not due.
Get steel for foundations and put in the raft.
Get the house blockwork to the first floor level provided the above goes to plan and the weather isn't too bad.
Get the garage blockwork done and roofed.

Maybe I'm ambitous as we're running into winter so i'm hoping winter won't be too bad.

By the way, i'll start uploading photos shortly at the different stages.
