Self-build, custom build and community-led housing

Self-build and custom housebuilding is where individuals build or manage the construction of their home. It can also be where individuals contract the build of their home while still making key decisions on design and layout.

Community-led housing is where a group or community will build or regenerate housing for use by local people or specific groups or communities.
