An exclusive new clip from tonight\u2019s Grand Designs sees a tense exchange between a father and son, as they work together on an ambitious project in rural Cambridgeshire.<\/p>\n

Widowed teacher Gretta is looking to make a fresh start in life by building her dream home, inspired by her time living in Malaysia. She enlists the help of nephew Carlos as designer and brother-in-law Fernando as project manager.<\/p>\n

Fernando himself has little building experience, but is left in charge when Carlos takes time away from the work. His son doesn\u2019t hesitate in delivering some tough criticism upon his return.<\/p>

On the otherwise perfect wooden exterior of the building, Carlos notices a white protrusion which his father tells him is linked to the thermostat. There\u2019s obvious tension around where it has been placed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looks terrible,\u201d says Carlos bluntly. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t look great, does it?\u201d<\/p>\n
