Independent Builder: Designing & Building a House Your Own Way
Subtitled "Designing and Building a House Your Own Way," this is the book for anyone thinking about building their own home.
It is comprehensive, detailed and covers subjects I have never before seen covered in home building books, like how to make a small house seem bigger, incorporating ergonomics and accessibility, doing your own drawings and scale models, making contracts that work, and working effectively with professional designers and builders.
With detailed diagrams and photographs, this is the most thorough overall guide to building your own home I have ever seen (and I"ve seen a lot!).
Clark, a carpenter, designer, and builder with over 25 years" experience, has revised and expanded his earlier Designing and Building Your House Your Own Way (Chelsea Green, 1978) to reflect recent developments.
Clark takes a pragmatic approach to construction, combining the best new technologies with more traditional, time-tested methods (the main criteria being whether the construction is cost-effective and can stand the test of time). .)
Published/Edition: (October 1996) . ISBN/0930031857
