How to Manage a Self-Build

The 27-page BuildPlan guide to running your own new build — from site due diligence to handover.

The advisory knowledge itself, written up as a professional guide for homeowners who want real control over cost, programme, contractors and quality. Seventeen chapters take a self build from thinking like a project manager through due diligence, budgeting, procurement, contracts, programme, trades, quality and handover, closing with the twenty-control system and a set of working templates.
