This is where many Owner Builders get caught out.
Understanding what you can afford BEFORE anything else seems obvious but it's not alway the case.

There are average construction costs per square metre calculators you can use as a guide but you must do your research.

Once you have an idea of construction costs, the next thing you need to think about is financing an owner build.
