Description
This book, written by an experienced self build architect provides practical, step-by-step advice and guidance on how to build your own high quality, stylish home. Aimed at those who aspire to live in a tailor-made home that expresses their own style because existing houses for sale are either too dull or expensive, but who are daunted by the prospect. It dispels the myth that self-built houses either require you to get your hands dirty or result in little more than brick boxes.
