Choosinga build route
Self-build is a broad church — you needn’t lay a single brick if you don’t want to!
Self-build is a broad church and there are many routes to getting an individual home built. However, generally speaking, most self-builders choose one of the following routes:
● Project managing the entire build themselves, including hiring and coordinating subcontractors like plumbers and electricians to complete the build, as well as buying most of the building materials.
● Choosing a main contractor or builder to manage and coordinate the build on their behalf. In this case, the builder or main contractor will often take on the job of buying all or the majority of the building materials.
