There is a direct relationship between the time you devote to your project and its final cost. Few self-builders do much of the manual work: they rely instead on builders and tradespeople, however considerable savings can be made if you can do some or all of the project management.

The cost of the frame depends on the complexity of design and structural completeness. In general, we would expect this to be between 10-25 per cent of the total build cost.
