Description

About the Book

The go-to title for the UK's army of self-builders and renovators, the Housebuilder's Bible has been garnering fans for over twenty years.

Book Synopsis

The Housebuilder's Bible by Mark Brinkley is the UK's best-selling guide to self-building and home improvement, with over 200,000 copies sold. First self-published in 1994, it has become a trusted reference for a wide range of readers, including self-builders, architects, contractors, surveyors, estate agents, and home improvers.

Drawing on over 40 years of experience, Brinkley offers a highly readable and insightful handbook that demystifies the design and construction process. The book blends regularly updated practical guidance - such as trade prices, planning advice, and building regulations - with thoughtful commentary on how and why we build the way we do, and how we might do it better.

Designed to be a Rough Guide to homebuilding in the UK, the book includes detailed costings, recommendations, and regulatory information.

Key topics are clearly presented with the help of mono photos, graphics, tables, making it an indispensable resource for anyone planning a building project.
