My Owner Build

On on quest to build an affordable home in Australia

Can we build our own home for under $150,000?
We certainly hope so!

We have purchased some land on Russell Island in QLD and are attempting to build a three bedroom home on the island. Our goal is for the total cost (including land) to come in at $150,000.

We are totally new to building - but purchasing an established property is simply too expensive for us. We truly hope we can pull this off, as it will give us a home and security.

"On board for all the same reasons but renovating. Retired out of the building industry some time ago, but due to alarming quotes and the usual trade behaviors. I'm back in the game. Look forward to what you learn and discover. Good on you"
