Hundreds of thousands of us renovate, convert, extend and improve
our homes each year, and one-third of all new detached homes are
self-built. If you're looking to build your own home from scratch
or work on your existing property, this is the one and the only
book that you really need. Building Your Own Home has been updated
and expanded by David Snell, acknowledged expert and guru in the
field of self-build and it remains the best book on the subject.
Packed with authoritative advice, charts, diagrams and photographs,
this fully illustrated bible contains everything you need to know,
from finding and buying a plot of land to explaining planning and
building regulations, financing the project, buying materials and
choosing the design. In addition, it also gives an insight into the
costs and problems encountered by self-builders in a varied
collection of case histories.
