The Self Build Guide provides information to assist with building your own home.

We are on hand from your initial plans and ideas, buying land, designing your home, managing the build (and the costs!), right the way through to the day when you finally close the door behind you for your first night in your new home.

As passionate self builders and with a working knowledge of the construction industry, we are here to guide you on your way to completing one of the most satisfying endeavours you could wish to undertake.

Building your own home is an exciting and fulfilling journey, regardless of your previous experience. The end result 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 in the process!

People who have built their own house will tell you that the rewards don’t come without considerable effort - The process is time consuming and complicated. There are lots of decisions to make and numerous resources must be coordinated to pull the project together.

Whether your build is small and traditional or the next ‘Grand Design’, the process is fundamentally the same. Regardless of the level of involvement you wish to have in building your own home, our guide hopes to contribute to your project’s success and your enjoyment of the journey.

The sections will vary in relevance depending on how you choose to build so please delve in for useful information whichever stage is relevant to you - If you are new to self build, click on the 'getting started' button.

Don't forget that the information in the site is also useful if you are undertaking a renovation, extension or conversion project.
