Self Build Book & Budgeting

fitzie79 · 2007-11-10 21:57:07

I am commencing a self build in the near future and am wondering if there are any good (preferably Irish) self build books out there that would be worth purchasing that will give me a better idea of that is involved in each stage. In addition are there any sites that give detailed sample budgets?

The Homebond House Building Manual is invaluable IMO, costs about €40-€50

Worth its weight in gold.

In fact the government should make it compulsory for every builder to read it and then be tested much like the driving test set up
