Do you get paid to be on Grand Designs?
While many makeover shows will either pay the people who enter or provide work and materials, Grand Designs is different.
This show is all about people building their own dream home or extension, spending hundreds of thousands of pounds (or more).
Part of the reason that the show is successful is because it’s real people working on real projects, where they can go over budget.
