Title: Build It + Home Improvement
The newest issue of Build It + Home Improvement magazine could contain the secrets needed in order to create your dream home on a budget.
It looked at the stories of two families who managed to build their properties for less than £92,000 each - a snip in today's market.
One of the houses was even made using insulating concrete formwork, which should give the added benefit of less maintenance and lower energy bills, according to Forms.org.
Meanwhile, the magazine has retold the stories of a number of other readers' experiences of building their own homes, including one on how to split a bungalow into two houses and another on a family who won permission to build a new abode on their farm.
Furthermore, Design Doctor takes a look at working with an architect, while the magazine also contains tips on designing your home and using brick and block.
Other advice includes kitchen planning hints and information on ground-source and air-source heat pumps.
