Are you ready to build yourself a kit home? Not sub-contract, actually
BUILD IT YOURSELF
This site will convince you that assembling home building kits is within the reach of anyone who can wield a hammer and a drill.
A kit house has simple A joins B joins C block systems that make it easy to assemble, and with energy and determination to build your own home kits, anyone can do it!
If you can follow straightforward plans, do your pre-reading and take notice of diy advice, your dreams will become totally realistic goals.
It’s easier than you think to build your own home kit, believe me.
Why? Because I did it and I’m NOT a builder. Most basic kit homes can be built by a sole worker. That means you don't need to hire labour, unless you want to go faster. Sure there are some tasks you have to sub-contract by law, like electricals, plumbing and drainage, but.... All the Rest can be Accomplished by YOU.
There is so much diy information available that new skills can be quickly learnt and all bases get covered. Simple house floor plans are everywhere on the net ready to be converted to a fantastic kit home design. Home building kits consist of each and every component, delivered, ready for you to quickly and easily build your own kit home. Home building plans have layouts for setting out a house and house footing design, right through to framing, metal roof installation and cladding the exterior.
You won't believe the feeling, of 'physically' building your own home.
Why build a kit home?
Kits can cost up to 40% less than conventional home construction because:
● You organise it yourself so you save builder fees
● You do most of the work so you save tradesman fees
● Frames and materials are mass produced
● All components are cut to size and pre-marked in a factory
● Delivery of all the components comes in one or two loads
● There is a reduced likelihood of theft as the building is constructed relatively quickly
● Fast, relatively simple construction
● No architect service costs
● No special tools or heavy equipment required
Most kits are
● Cyclone rated
● Fully insulated
● Termite resistant
● Open planned
● Use modern state of the art components and materials
● Basic studios through to multiple-bedroom, multiple-bathroom, double story mansions
AND you can build it yourself!
