Aired on Channel 4, Grand Designs is one of a kind, which has the unique concept of ‘property’as its format. The show throws light on those few architectural ventures, which involve construction of houses, on the part of the show’s presenter, after he negotiates with the clients.

Talkback Thames serves as the executive producer of the series and, Kevin McCloud initiates each episode by taking a specific project in his hand. The day which starts with client interaction, ends with an automated computer visualization of the masterpiece in making. As work reaches to its next stage, Kevin takes care of all the unavoidable delays and any sort of modifications, which may be required time to time.

Frequent overflowing of budget and Kevin’s close look at designing special features of house is what, that adds an extra charm to the show. When the building reaches a completion state and the owners move in, Kevin tours the house while highlighting each of its segments. He gives his valuable feedback on various areas of the house that gets constructed under his guidance.
