A self-builders must have

When you are looking to build your own property, you can end up wasting a lot of money on plan books (especially when they are from America). This book however is fantastic, it is perfectly laid out, giving you price in ascending order for how many bedrooms etc you require (so you can build a four bedroom property for £140,000 or a two bedroom property for this price). The book is realistic it shows houses from a budget price and has traditional and contemporary designs.

It tells you step by step how to go about building your house, which some people think is simple, but it is not (I have learnt a hell of a lot from experiance that things have to be done in a certain order, or a lot of time is wasted and labourers are getting paid for sitting around).

My only fault with this book is......that I didn't want it to end, I have a coffee in one hand and this book in the other and realise that I to, can actually have quite an imposing property on a budget, this book takes you one step further towards your dream and makes you buzz with excitement.
