Kit Home Basics
Do it Yourself Home Building

A Kit Home is a do it yourself home building system ready made for the owner builder to easily assemble and finish. So with energy and determination, you can successfully build your own home. Whether you choose steel or wood, they are designed for the owner builder, and go up as fast as a pro builder build. I have personally built a 3 brm wooden kit and have just completed a steel framed kit home. Believe me, building your own home is a fantastic feeling.

DIY Kit Homes

Having trouble finding a builder?? Why not become the builder. It’s easier than you think to build your own home kit, believe me. A kit home provider will source and deliver all materials, at a fixed price. So you don't have to wait for building company workers to turn up in this difficult labour period, you can do it yourself. 

Why? Most DIY kit homes can be built by a solo worker. That means you don't need to hire labour, unless you want to go faster or bigger. 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.
