We are planning and considering building our small single-family house ourselves:
I am a carpenter and could do the shell construction (wood) + roof myself. I have 2-3 carpenters who would help me with that. A friend is a master electrician with his own business, he would take care of the electrical work. We also have a heating engineer with his own business in our circle of acquaintances, who would do the heating and sanitary work for us at good conditions. We would have to have the basement done by others. Of course, I would help everywhere; as a "craftsman," I can also do the "usual" DIY tasks like laying floors, painting, interior plastering, walls, doors, etc. My father, a retiree who also renovated his house himself, would help as well.
Now to those who have done this or something similar: Can you say how much cost you saved by doing this?
