As someone who is thinking of going down the path of owner build, would you recommend it? What are the potential pitfalls to look out for? Would you recommend any tradies/contacts that you used for your build? Re: Owner Build House - Denham Court 44Feb 18, 2020 7:58 pm There are alot of ups and downs. My house is now 90% complete. I'll upload photos once I'm done. If your willing to go down this path you will need time. And I mean you need to be there all the time there is work being done. You will hear the same excuse when mistakes are done. You werent here. I would say go for it. I'm happy with my house and wouldn't change it for a company home. I did a company home for my first and when you don't have control you get what you get. For tradies I have had really good ones and rubbish ones. If you need some let me know I will give you the good. Any questions or if you need advice let me know renovating88 Hi Tony, Thank you for your generous sharing.
