Part 6 - Your Opinion
This section will help me with the discussion of my Thesis and give you the opportunity to opt in to Stage 3 of the research
End of STAGE 2
(For your chance to be selected to have a set of concept house plans designed just for you - for FREE)*
Part 1 - How can I contact you
If you are willing to take part in Stage 3 of the research you will act as a potential client wishing to build a new residential house. Your response to Stage 3 may be selected to design a new residential house for discussion in my Thesis. If your response is selected you will be asked to evaluate the designed house, in this case I will have to contact you at a later date to take part in Stage 4; The Evaluation. You will be supplied with the result of the designed house and a short survey to evaluate the result.
Please be assured the published results will use a pseudonym and not use your mane or personal information, and that no opinions will be attributed to you in any way that will identify you.
* The development of a response will be limited to the ‘Developed Design’ stage including floor plans and presentation renders to a similar level of detail and resolution offered by competing development company websites. These will be supplied free of charge and are to be used to evaluate during Stage 4. The plans will remain copyright of the designer and should not be used in whole or in part without the written consent of the designer. The plans are supplied for the purposes of research and not to be used for construction.
Part 2 - Your Requirements
This section will collect information that will form a design brief in order to design a house specifically for you. This is a theoretical proposition and therefore, should you wish, the data does not need to reflect your actual situation. Site locations will be limited to a selection of theoretical sites within the research area and not specific to you.
