If you are already intent on building your own home, chances are you have already studied the basics involved and are ready to start turning dreams into reality!

Why be a self builder? The answers to that question are as varied as the thousands of people in Britain who have decided they want a say in how their house is built.
At the end of the day, it boils down to a desire to do something individual, to stamp one’s own personality on the very fabric of one’s living space, rather than simply styling a design prepared entirely by others.
The process, which is becoming increasingly popular in the UK, is remarkably straightforward, provided you stick to the rules and plan the entire process meticulously.

Contrary to what the phrase self builder implies, this is not about people physically building their own house, although, for the very experienced, it can be just that.
Most importantly, doing it via timber framing is also very quick and reasonably priced, compared with brick and block and can allow for greater site construction input by the self builder, if desired.
The self builder can simply be someone who has a piece of land and a vision, and who pays other people to turn that vision into reality, all the way from design, to planning permission and construction.
Or it can be someone who wants to manage the project personally, but have others do the work.
Or, as we said, the truly experienced person might want to tackle all or parts of the project themselves.
