    Could anyone point me in the right direction as to whats involved in building a home. The plan is to build a timber frame home from -mod snip timber cabin typical site-. We have a site. I'm trying to put together a budget & in my head I'll have to budget for the following:
    - Planning
    - Percolation Testing
    - Engineers Fees
    - Foundation
    - -snip- fee
    - Electrical wiring
    - Plumbing
    - ESB connection
    - Landscaping which would involve mainly my time

    What am I missing.

    the supplier won’t be able to comply with building regulations, I’d advise caution.

    Have you got planning? Is this a single storey garden shed you're looking to live in or a proper two storey timber frame house?
