The Channel 4 show is now entering its 25th series, with previous episodes seeing everything from giant curved glass homes to mansions built out of clay and former water towers.
Now, more keen builders are ready to take on the task, not for the faint-hearted, as Kevin travels around the UK to see the new builds in Grand Designs.
The latest series kicked off with Sarah and Howard in Worthing, who built their dream “floating home”.
They were followed by Sarah and Pip in Bedfordshire, who brought a “rickety” old barn back to life.
Tomorrow night Kevin revisits Graeme and Mel, whose hugely ambitious Hackney build was hampered by a basement bombshell.

In week three, Kevin met 82-year-old Kathryn, who wanted to build an accessible, ultra-sustainable home.
This week, it’s a Grand Designs revisit to Graeme and Melanie in London.
Kevin McCloud revisits ‘unapologetically modern’ home in Grand Designs
On the latest episode of Grand Designs, Kevin will return to Graeme and Melanie, who had huge ambitions for their new home in Hackney.
Architect Graeme planned for the home to be a comfortable haven for themselves and their teenage daughters.
However, the build was met with issues when they chose a tiny twin garage plot on a traditional Victorian terraced road for £275,000.
Graeme wanted the home to be “an unapologetically modernist bright red design” with a smart interior to maximise space vertically.
The couple were soon met with challenges when they had to excavate four metres down in a tight urban site while having a tight 12-month schedule and a tight budget.

The build faced more trouble when the basement contractor withdrew from the project due to skyrocketing material costs.
18 months on from Kevin’s last visit, the Grand Designs host is back to see if Graeme and Melanie completed their dream home.
Grand Designs is on Channel 4 on Wednesday evenings at 9pm and is available to stream on All4.
