Hi all,
I just found this forum and I'm sure I'll be dropping in regularly over the next 6-12 months.
At the moment I'm just browsing kit homes and factory built homes, getting ready to do some serious research on costs, benefits, pitfalls, etc. to help me decide which of these two options to focus on.
To the experienced owner builders out there - which one works out cheaper? Kit to build yourself (with tradie help), or factory built homes delivered in sections and completed? And if it's a kit, are the cost savings really worth the time and hassle?
I love the idea of building the house myself with my partner, but we do have two small children, and while we are both handy with a drill and a paintbrush, building a house is quite a step up from the cubby house we threw together, so I think there would need to be quite a lot of help from tradesmen.
