Hello breeezers looking to build a small 2-3 bedroom dwelling on a block close to bushland.The idea is to build it myself as I am a carpenter and the end result is to have an affordable small house to live / holiday in near the coast. It has to be fire-rated due to its location to the bush. Has anyone done this before? What are the hidden costs involved that I should take into account? Has anyone used a kit home company before? Is there material buying power worth it?
