Hi all, aspiring self-builder in the beginnings of research and just scoping things out. Just starting out with my wife and our young growing family and want to build a 3 bed house for ourselves because of the better value we would get for our money. Our current situation is no land, no building design but lots of energy and a decent grasp of the construction world and a fairly good deposit (a bit under 100g's). Looking at designs and plots that would build us about 150sqm house with a decent size garden for the kids. I've worked in construction for about 8 years as a qualified sparky, partly qualified chippy and have done a fair bit of ground work as well. Anyways, thought I'd say hi and I'm looking forward to learning more about other members' self builds and getting some ideas in my head.

 

Cheers

Jo

welcome and good luck with your search for a plot!
