[#relevant](/economics/new/relevant) [#realestate](/economics/new/realestate) [#uk](/economics/new/uk) If you are looking to create an individual home that is tailored to your lifestyle and requirements, then you should absolutely consider the self build options available to you. Self building can allow you to create a low-maintenance home that will change with you as your needs change. It can also give you scope to design in energy efficient features from the outset. But it doesn’t mean that you will be the one on site digging foundation trenches or laying bricks yourself. There are numerous self build routes available — depending on your available time, budget and skillset — from building your house on a DIY basis or acting as your own project manager to a completely hands-off approach through a package supplier. Regardless of your chosen route, the self build process requires careful thought and planning and you will need to make some key decisions before any building work begins. Here are some of the key things you need to consider before going on site with your self build project — from finding land and securing finance, to gaining planning permission and choosing the best construction system, all the way to snagging and reclaiming VAT on all eligible items at the end of the project. What is a Self Build? A self build is an individual house that has been commissioned by an individual homeowner to perfectly fit their exact requirements and tastes. But this does not mean you have to get your hands dirty and lay foundations or build walls yourself. While approximately 11,000 self build homes are built each year, less than 10% of those homeowners were physically involved in the process by taking on the building work.
