DIY Homebuilding: An Easier to Build Design 

That house would be awesome on a lake front property or on a mountain with a good view

I love that design! Perfect for my 4 members family.

Awesome design! Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day👍

Can you show some budget one story houses? My father can't climb stairs.

Suggestions, No sink in island! A nice entry closet is a must. Laundry room with surface to fold clothes is a must. Homes need to be functional, I wish builders understood this better. Anyone agree?

Your videos would be much better if you included the sf, and how much of the work does the owner/builder do to get the basic building cost mentioned.

Nice ideas for a workable design.

Very helpful video!

Really nice and perfect.

This is stunning!! Of course, I always want modifications - especially since I don't have kids at home anymore - like losing those extra bedrooms & bath upstairs (maybe putting one in the basement) and making more of an open loft area office space. I also have to have a free standing bathtub in the master. I do love love the main floor w/ that natural light & the look of the exterior

Thanks Mike !

We purchased a variation of this plan (there are several) with 1952 square feet and with the walk-out finished basement, it will be 3118 total living space. We are contracting ourselves because my husband knows a lot about construction. He knows enough to stop contract laborers when he sees a problem. We will be able to do a good percentage of work inside ourselves. We are currently in the framing stage getting it in the dry within the month. You are able to really search out good deals and make modifications to save money when you are in control. I have plenty of construction progress photos, but I can't see that I can post here.

Love This House ❤️‍🔥🪴👏🏽🎈☯️🥳

Very informative. Simple to understand .

I love the concept . I am not a student here but I would like to build my home any clue.

Best design is arched cabins out of Texas. U buy a kit of metal ribs which go from floor to roof. These are covered with fabric insulation.....ok for hot or temperate climates but for cold climates u need to add batt insulation..... fell loose or mineral wool. The outside is clad with large metal sheets that are the length of the house. These gonup to and form the roof so u have metal siding and metal roof. The diy builds the end caps and adds windows and doors....usually at the same nd caps. Various size kits stand 18 ft tall so u can have 7 ft ceiling and add a loft to have 1 and one half floors. Add a bath and bedroom in the loft and two br on first floor u can have a three br two bath house!!!!!.....please look at arched cabins.....appreciate your suggestions how to use the kit.....than add sweat equity....to build an affordable house....The metal outside is ideal in areas plagued with forest fires like California.....Many examples of arched cabins on u tube.....check out the landio channel.....pls email me your thoughts....regards....a barbuto..... barbuto@optonline.net....

Awesome floor plan and house. Might go with this one, but I am not sure I would spend an extra $50k that is specified just to finish the basement with 1 bedroom and a bath unless that includes a pool table, sauna, and game room. I think I could manage that better and save $15-20k

I like this home design. Where can I get the building plans?

this is so close to being perfect, i just need a garage on the left with entrance and mudroom built into this plan somehow, or at least the capability to add that in the future

Do you think this plan would be energy efficent?

Do you have any ideas for affordable house builds in a place like Florida where basements aren’t affordable or possible.

Is there any chance you could make a video like this for small multifamily? Like a duplex maybe?

oh yeah I think this is the one

This keeps popping up repeatedly on every feed I have- thinking it must be a sign now! What area are you in and do you actually contract out for building?

Can you be an owner builder with an FHA or USDA loan?

How do insulate the roof in northern climates zone 5 and above

how much would this cost to build without being an owner builder and just having it built the regular way by contractors or whatever? cheers!

I just want to make sure I heard you correctly. If you finish the basement the price goes down to $117 a square foot from a $154?

Great video! When you say diy homebuilding, does that mean me as the owner would have to build this plan myself or I would hire a contractor to build this?

I know he will not stop loving me no matter what.❤
