Hi everyone, I’m a builder and also a student in my final year of a construction degree. I’m trying to gather information about issues, challenges and successes self builders experience when planning/building there own home. Mainly in gaining planning permission and complying with constraints that a project has?
My subject area and also passion is within alternative construction methods
(earthships, straw bale, hybrids etc.) and anything that has a low impact on the environment (renewable tech, eco design, energy efficiency).
I also hope to have my own self build project on the go in a couple of years time (fingers crossed) so any information, experiences, stories or guides that anyone has would be gratefully appreciated.
Cheers,
Jonny
