Synopsis

A guide to all aspects of building for oneself. It relates personal experience of putting theory into practice, gives a range of built examples and includes a practical guide to organizing a project covering land, finance, permissions and professional help. It also contains a detailed manual on the Walter Segal method of timber-frame construction, because of its particular advantage to self-builders. The authors argue for a housing policy that would extend self-build opportunities.
