In the first episode, Lucy and Harry have to bring in a complex build on a tight budget for the Flinter family. Combining the kitchen and dining room in this Victorian three-bed home is the first step in creating one big living space. The family wants a handleless kitchen, some funky flooring and stainless steel work tops. Plus, they are splashing out on an expensive mural that looks like spilt paint. Upstairs, sports-mad son Jack wants a football-themed room. Can Lucy come up with a perfect design and keep the build on budget?

Dorrie and Simon Dowling recently bought a 1930s house on the south coast that features a massive wrap around conservatory, a 12 seater hot tub and a fussy 80s kitchen. Once they have got rid of those it's time to knock down a few walls to create the grey shaker style kitchen-diner they have set their hearts on. With expensive taste but no budget to match, how can Lucy and Harry help them transform the house into the home they want? And will the double-sided log burner send the budget up in smoke?

Bristol newly-weds Georgia and Dan Hemings have saved and scrimped to buy their new three bedroom semi, with hopes of turning it into a family home in the future.

What cash-crunching tips and tricks do Lucy and Harry come up with to achieve all this on budget?

How do you make a home office look good when you have to contend with a mountain of wires and cables? As well as being smart and homely, it has to house two tortoises.

Can Lucy and Harry claw back the cash somewhere else in the build?
