It is interesting to see the planning and construction of these houses. However, on the vast majority of cases these are houses being build costing vast sums of money. You do not get to see average people attempting to build a unique house of their dreams on a limited budget. I do get it that the show is called "Grand" designs and this inferring that the builds are expensive. But it is hard to relate to the show as an average person when you can't afford what is being done. The most frustrating part of the show is that not once have I heard the final structures being described as awful. On a number of occasions the final construct is woeful. ( Yes I know that is subjective) However, to laud over every building as a masterpiece, when clearly they are not, discredits the program.
