Building Your Own Home 18th Edition by David Snell
Hundreds of thousands of us renovate, convert, extend and improve our homes each year, and one-third of all new detached homes are self-built.
Claiming to be the number one bible for self-builders everywhere, David Snell's Building Your Own Home [18th edition] is just thatHis informative book manages to combine masses of information with a light touch...it's big draw is its usefulness to anyone doing up their existing home, since it gives details of new building regulations that came into force on 6 April 2006, plus up-to-date requirements for things such as boiling and rewiring. Hugely helpful and intelligent. * Evening Standard *
[David Snell's] writing style is nicely accessible but reassuringly authoritative. He's like a dad who always knows best. The book covers every subject a self-builder needs to be aware of, from setting the budget to construction techniques. For practical advice I can't recommend this book enough. * Grand Designs *
this is a book for the bedside table as well as the building site * Homebuilding and Renovating magazine *
Updated and expanded this book is regarded as the `bible’ for self builders * Ulster Architect *
