Welcome
Regular readers will know we cover all manner of project types in the pages of Build It magazine, on our website at Self-build.co.uk and via our Build It Live shows and Virtual Training Courses. But there is perhaps no time (at least in the world of home building projects) when your information need will be greater than if you’re creating a new house from scratch. Self building offers a unique chance to deliver a home that’s completely tailored to your needs, matches your quality and performance expectations and – importantly – does so within your budget.If you’re a novice to this game (or maybe an old hand giving it all another go five, 10 or 20 years on), you might be wondering how you can possibly make all the decisions that are about to come your way.Well, fear not! Our annual Self Build Special Edition returns with this bumper 212 page issue – the largest, most detailed bookazine we’ve put together in the 12+ years I’ve been at Build It, and one that takes you step-by-step through the processes, considerations and choices you’ll need to navigate on the path to self build success. Enjoy!
