Welcome to The Self Build Guide
The Self Build Guide is a free information site for anyone interested in building their own home. We have useful content on everything from developing your initial ideas, to buying land, house design and managing your project to completion.
Our aim was to create a guide that not only gives you the usual self building information but also provides an insight from personal experience with useful practical tips and direction to other good resources that have proved valuable.
Building your own home is one of the most satisfying endeavours you could wish to undertake. The journey is exciting and fulfilling but at the same time often stressful and demanding. It is a time consuming and complex process with countless decisions to make and numerous resources to coordinate.
The end result though, is a home that, from its very conception, has been tailored to the tastes and needs of you and your family and has probably saved you money!
Please use our site as a reference point throughout your home building project and let us know how you get on.
The very best of luck with your build and enjoy the ride!
