This book has been brilliantly conceived to convince the would-be homebuilder that high quality self build is
perfectly within their reach. I am very pleased to be able to recommend this important new addition to the
literature for all those self-builders who believe that good design can unlock the potential of great living.
Michael Holmes - Editor, Homebuilding and Renovating magazine.
Do you aspire to live in a high quality tailor-made home that expresses your own style? Are the existing houses
for sale either too dull or too expensive? If so, you probably dream of building or renovating your own home but
are daunted by the prospect.
Self Build: Design and build your own home, written by an experienced self build architect, will inspire you to
turn the dream into a reality. Aimed at people renovating their homes as well as those building from scratch, it
provides practical, step-by-step advice and guidance, and concentrates on how great design can unlock the living
solution that suits your particular needs.
Up-to-date information, hot tips and watchpoints guide you through each stage of the building process, from
preparing a bespoke design to the construction work itself. Illustrated throughout in colour, it is presented in
a concise, accessible format and style, and contains a number of easy-to-use checklists designed to be copied
and used as part of the management of the project.
