Building your own home

[sja360]

Has anyone gone through the process of a self build and regretted it or has any tips or things they wish they knew before taking up the build. I'm talking about the overall scope, ie wish they had a bigger or smaller plot, less or more internal space etc. Upped the budget etc.

I'm highly interested in renewables and the passivhaus standard. I realise this isn't the right forum (self build forums all over the web) but thought I'd ask here to get an unbiased point of view.

Hopefully someone out there has some experience/knowledge from doing it.

Cheers,
Stephen

@sja360 were you looking to move forward with this anytime soon (current climate may influence this!) Or just to get a bit more info? Obviously it's a big undertaking building your own house!

Hey Derek,
Looking at more information & experience at the minute. I've been scouting for plots for a while trying to figure out how it would all piece together and cost.
