Budgethouse

Thanks everyone for your replies and input. There is lots of helpful things you’ve shared that I was unaware of. I will have a look at simplifying the windows/ doors and also do more research regarding regulations and stuff.

Hello, Me and my wife have a small plot of land and hope to build our own house. We have researching timber frame house kits and are visiting the NSBRC in Swindon next week for more insight. The thing is we don’t have much money and want to avoid mortgages. Our budget if we are able to borrow from family is roughly 60-80k and we have lots of friends and family that are electricians/ builders etc that are willing to lend a hand. We don’t have any planning permissions but hope to build a house like the Scotsframe “Calder” floor plan. i joined this website to learn and get advice as we start our journey!
