Selfbuild research

Before you even consider how to selfbuild your own home you will need to do a lot of research. Books and magazines are one of the first steps into selfbuild. Next step will be selfbuilding exhibitions. There are exhibitions held nationwide to assist the aspiring selfbuilder.

Selfbuild Books

Books are an ideal starting point for research into your selfbuild project. Before my project I spent many, many hours studying what I class as the number 1 book for Selfbuild research. Building Your Own Home  by Murray Armor. Murray Armor is sadly no longer with us but I still think he was the main inspiration for my Self Build.
