The All-in-One Custom Homebuilders Guide--Fully Updated with the Latest Green Construction Methods

How to Plan, Contract, and Build Your Own Home, fifth edition, gives you the information you need during every step of the homebuilding process--from selecting materials to designing the rooms to working with a contractor.

Written by experienced instructors and builders, this is the most complete planning and homebuilding resource available.

Choose the best quality floors, wall coverings, fixtures, and appliances for your budget
