Good books on self build project management?

[Rachieble]

I’m fairly experienced building things like extensions but haven’t ever done a full PM build so far and i’d like to take that on next time. I was wondering if there were any good books anyone would recommend that are something like ‘self build manual’ or ‘self build for beginners’ -but definitely with a UK slant as I want to build a brick house. Something that sort of covers the order of everything simply, just so I can get my head around what I’d really be taking on?

Brinkley’s self build bible was my go-to book

I've got half a dozen books from when I designed and built my own house. I don't use them any longer, so if some or all are of any use to you I can send them to you. If you donate a tenner to BuildHub that would cover P&P. The titles are:-

 

Building Your Own Home by David Snell

The Green Building Bible 4th Edition Volumes 1 & 2 by Keith Hall

The Green Self Build Book by Jon Broome

The Energy Efficient Home by Patrick Waterfield

The New Autonomous House by Brenda & Robert Vale

Ah thank you but I’ve just bought the book mentioned above and I think that’s exactly what I’m looking for to be honest. I probably don’t need any others. Thank you for the offer.

You can never have enough books.

My most useful books on building are a set of very old ones, available second hand., with lots of drawings....but the title escapes me.

 

If you are into the Engineering side of things, this comes to mind.
