context_page_description: Self-build is the practice of creating an individual home for oneself through a variety of different methods. The self-builder's input into this process varies from doing the actual building work to contracting out all the work to an architect or building package company.
context_section_description: People build individual homes for all sorts of reasons. An important reason, above all in poor countries, is that they might not be able to afford their housing on the open market. Another motivation of self-builders can be the wish to create something tailored to their family's requirements and/or their lifestyle.
