self-building

Self-building refers to the process of personally overseeing and managing the construction of a new home, often by purchasing land and planning each stage of the build. It involves collaborations with contractors, architects, and suppliers to customize the design and specifications. This approach allows the individual to have greater control over the project's costs, features, and quality, often resulting in a unique, personalized property. While it requires significant effort, planning, and decision-making, self-building can be more cost-effective and fulfilling for those seeking a tailored home experience.
