Reader's Comments

I've been buying the updates to this book for years now. There's more useful and relevant information in this book than there was in my 3 years at university studying construction. Brilliant, casual writing style too.
Thank you for this fabulous book Mark! Who would have thought that reading about planning permissions, bricks and mortar, plumbing, electricity, key rate charges, and expense sheets could be so funny and entertaining.
It’s a brilliant book. I read it whilst sailing across the Atlantic and, by the time I arrived home, I had decided to knock down our house and rebuiId it. A complete change of plans.
“Armed with my planning permission, I started researching construction methods. I watched YouTube videos, read self-build magazines, and scoured building-related websites. I also read a brilliant book, the Housebuilder’s Bible. It covers the different construction methods, best practices, regulations and things to consider. It explains how to project manage the build and gives a helpful example project schedule showing the build sequence.” Jason Butler, Financial Times, April 2021
