A large
proportion of homes built in Ireland are classed as "self build"
houses where a person obtains a site or a plot of land, gets plans drawn
up for the house and applies for planning permission. Then they employ
a builder to construct the house - maybe doing a proportion of the work
themselves or subcontracting out parts of the work to tradespeople.
This Self
Building Blog has some useful insights from someone who completed
a self-build in Ireland in 2005. It has very useful information about
building costs and links to other sites that should help anyone thinking
of building a house in Ireland.
Building your own house in Ireland can be far cheaper than buying a ready

the way - but you can end up with the house you dreamt of at a price you
can afford.

some
books to help you plan and build your own self build house - wherever
you end up building it .
