The house that Adrian and Andrea built
Article Abstract:
Building your own home allows you to incorporate design elements that are specific to your individual circumstances. It can take a long time to find a suitable piece of land, and the design process can also be lengthy. The actual construction period is generally short and intense. First-time buyers may find it hard to finance the construction of a self-build home, but some lenders are willing to offer phased-in loans which tie in with the house-building process.

Boldly building the millennium home
Article Abstract:
UK housing developers are turning to unusual sites as land becomes more scarce. St James is constructing 300 homes on water filter beds at Long Ditton, England, for example, while Berkeley is constructing 41 apartments and duplex penthouses within the Thames Water water-testing laboratory in Islington, England. In Barry, Wales, there are plans for a mixed-use rejuvenation scheme on a 125-acre site in the derelict docks.
