Self-build

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005141

A construction project where the individual or family commissioning the building takes on a direct role in its design, management, and often the physical construction. This approach allows for greater control over the final product and budget compared to traditional contracting. Self-build projects are subject to the same building regulations and planning permissions as commercially built structures.
