Self Building

[nod]

I’m currently pricing four self builds for render plastering and tiling 

All four have purchased the plots from an individual While he’s done all the site surveys and sorted out the planning for each individual home 

He’s not the main contractor But for a small fee he will bring in Groundwork’s bricklayers etc and a bit of hand holding also 

The self builders are responsible for paying for materials and contractors 

 

I think this is a really good business model The seller sold the plots within six weeks The buyers no exactly when there build can be started 

There’s no incentive for contractors to overcharge as he has two more of these in the pipeline 

He reckons there will be about 25% saving on a turnkey build 

Without the hassle of trying to find trade 

 

All are individual designs 2 TF 2 Solids 

 

Perhaps the way forward in uncertain times

You have to admire the land owner for taking all the risk with the money invested in the land. 

By getting the surveys, planning all in place he can now maximise the return on his investment.

He could have been sat on this for years trying to get a return, and he probably was, knowing how slow planning departments can be.
