"Grand Designs" is a Channel 4 TV series covering unusual architectural house-building projects, presented by Kevin McCloud and produced by TalkbackTHAMES. The properties featured in the series vary wildly from homes underground to converted water towers, with the only common factor being that they are all rather unusual or extravagant in some way. An example project from the series was Ben Law's woodsman cottage which was built largely with wood harvested from the surrounding woodland, using few commercial materials and predominantly free labour.

"", A spin-off broadcast immediately after the main Channel 4 show each week. Acting as a companion piece (to the main Programme), gave hints and tips about building and showed some "behind the scenes" material from the week's show. Trade Secrets One an accompaniment for Series Seven of Grand Designs and Trade Secrets Two for Series Eight.

"Grand Designs Abroad" A series on properties outside the UK, called, was broadcast in Autumn 2004.

"Grand Designs Indoors" This, a lesser known spin-off, with the same format. As the name suggests the series concentrated on the interior transformation of these properties. Only containing six episodes, this series was broadcast in the spring of 2001.

"Grand Designs" is broadcast in Australia on The LifeStyle Channel and ABC1. An edited version (with Dutch voiceover) is broadcast in the Netherlands on SBS 6 as "De Grote Verbouwing".

Format

All episodes follow exactly the same format, but depending on the progress of the build, they may slightly deviate from this format. At the beginning of the episode, Kevin will meet with the clients, usually a couple, who are embarking on the project. He will visit the site with them, and discuss the plans for the building. A computer visualisation or CAD view of the house is then shown, with an internal tour. Usually ground work commences in the next stage, and Kevin will make visits to the site as the build progresses. As the build progresses, there are usually numerous hitches or delays; suppliers delivering materials late and so forth. Often the build runs over budget. As the house continues to be built, Kevin will often to do a piece to camera about a unique material or feature of the house. The building is then made watertight, and the first and second fixes commence. This stage will often be shown briefly; Kevin will then come and visit the site in its finished or near-finished state, once the family has moved in. A tour of the house is then given; Kevin then gives his opinions on the house and its construction and then the episode ends.

If a house is unlikely to be completed before filming finishes, it will often be revisited in a later episode. A twist has been added in the current series in that Kevin revisits old, unfinished builds once they have been completed and stays with the family for a night.

With an initial budget of around £20,000, but with bespoke elements such as a walk-in wardrobe costing £6,000 and window blinds costing £9,000, things soon go out of control with the total being closer to £115,000

But with a meagre budget of just £10,000 the basic structural work to the house eats up 80% of the budget, leaving a mere £2,000 for all decoration including a new kitchen, bathroom, lavish fabrics, tapestries and medieval furniture. They resort to enlisting family and friends to get things back on track. They buy Asian antiques which resemble medieval originals at a fraction of the price and up their overdraft in an attempt to get the project completed.

The planned budget is just £23,000.

Despite all of these nightmares, delays and overspending, the results in the end are very glamorous.
