The Basics of Kit Home Building
A DIY Web Guide
DIY Kit Homes have ready made systems that make them easy to assemble and finish by the owner builder. So with energy and determination, you can successfully build your own home. Whether they be steel or wood, they are designed for the owner builder, and go up as fast as a 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.
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.
For home kits you build yourself, there is so much DIY information available to help you develop new skills quickly and cover all your bases. Simple house floor plans are everywhere
on the internet, ready to be converted to a fantastic home design. 'Build your own' home kits consist of each and every component, delivered, ready for
you to quickly and easily build your own kit home.
You won't believe the feeling, of 'physically' building your own home.
As an owner builder, go deeper into the KHB site and find resources, lists, budget tools, insights and general knowledge within the sector to keep your journey on target. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments on the site, or submissions for the site, go to my Contact page here.
