This is self-build week in the UK!
Oliver Wainwright, Guardian columnist, asks readers with experience of self-build to send him

He has also written about the affordable architect-designed range of kit houses recently launched in the Netherlands. 20 architects were commissioned to produce 30 varying designs. The building cost could be as low as £97,400, and the buildings, made from prefabricated parts, can be assembled within 6-8 weeks.
This scheme helps architects to build their housing portfolio as well. For buyers it offers a cheaper and less uncertain version of self build.. "If more local authority land can be opened up, and architects retained art the centre of the process, it seems to make more sense than ever to go Dutch", says Wainwright
Here is Wainwright's architecture and design blog.
