Building prices for house building total cost of project
Although building your own house can be considerably cheaper than buying one of a builder or an old house it still costs a lot of money - much more money than most people have available in the bank and so must be obtained via a loan or more usually via a mortgage. The currently increasing costs of land ownership have also reduced the margins that were previously available on building your own house over buying an existing one.
