Hiring Professionals for Your Self-Build

Once you've secured your building plot and arranged your finances, it's highly probable that you'll need expert help to progress your project, unless you're planning to construct the entire house yourself.

You might want to engage several specialists for different aspects of the build:

• Architects: These professionals can design your new home and produce all the detailed plans required.

• Builders: For the actual physical construction of your property, you can locate a trusted builder through the Federation of Master Builders.

• Planning Consultants: If you need assistance navigating complex planning rules and managing applications, planning consultants are invaluable. You can find accredited professionals listed with the RTPI.

• Engineers: Engage engineers for crucial structural calculations or other specific technical assessments.

• Project Managers: To oversee and coordinate the entire construction journey from start to finish.
