This new edition (originally published as the Build Your Own House Manual) explains the entire process of designing and building your own home. Packed with hundreds of colour photos showing real self-build projects taking shape, each chapter is devoted to a key stage, from the foundations right through to snagging and completion. Whether taking on some of the works themselves, or employing architects and contractors, this step-by-step guide will show the reader how to stay firmly in control.
