Browse Forums Owner Builder Forum 1 Feb 27, 2010 5:50 pm Has anyone had any experience with (Affordable Steel Kit Homes) askhomes ? I am a first time home owner / builder and am hoping to get a home technically built by a builder rather than owner built; A. because the banks don't like OBs B. there is no B! I am a project manager by profession and a DIY maniac so i'd love to OB it but I don't have a huge deposit so can't get finance. I know a couple of builders so hope to get one to build to lock-up and let me & family (and friends) help a lot with labour and completion. After LOTS of browsing various kit home companies, I have found a couple of designs that I like at ASK. Hence the question. I have a budget (not including land) for the construction of about $120,000 complete, including all basic necessities like bathroom, kitchen, laundry, built-ins and connection of all services. Any advice also welcome!! Re: ASK Kit Homes 2Feb 27, 2010 6:41 pm ASK didn't really follow up for me and so I decided on country kit homes. They're brilliant and even have builders so can help you from the design and planning right through to finishing it off. Sorry I'm not more help but good luck with it.
