Getting Organized for Self Building

Unknown to many people, home construction requires serious organization. A well-planned house construction project will result in good success, accomplished more cheaply with less waste of time and resources. More importantly, self-building easily lends itself to more organizational options that make the entire building process very convenient for the owner. One can decide to build his house alone by himself and family, or do it with a building group. However it is necessary to consider all the advantages and disadvantages of the two options, and decide on the most suitable before getting into the project.

Participating in a building group, if one decides to join one, needs guidance. It is even possible for anyone to organize a building group round his own friends and colleagues who
have similar needs and interests. Finally, there is need to train for self-building, either as a group or as a lone builder. This is a simple practical short-time training that can be arranged to take place within the free time available to the participants. The training program is packaged to give full understanding of the building process, production of the building plans, preparation of the building materials and construction of the building itself, etc. Such training can be arranged with consultants who have had experience in self-building and in the utilization of the chosen building materials.
