The new kit home designs have been getting a lot of market share for some surprising reasons. Not least of these reasons is the fact that homeowners with the right owner/builder skills can build them themselves, very cheaply. When you consider the cost of “normal” homes, it’s pretty easy to see why these kit homes are so popular.
There’s no lack of design options, either. You can build:
- Geodesic domes- Your own personal “yurt”, with a fantastically spacious interior and in some cases multiple domes.
- Log cabin designs- Popular in the US and very practical, these homes embrace some of the most beautiful and interesting traditional and modern designs.
- Timber frame kit homes- These were the original kit home designs, and the modern versions combine a very high architectural standard with excellent materials.
- Steel frame kit homes- These are the more modern kit homes, the descendants of the other types, and they can be huge. You can actually build your own two storey 6 bedroom multi-garage palace!
So- Want to build a kit home for yourself? If you do, you’re one of an ever-increasing number of people that does! Check out the story online and see what sort of home you can make for yourself!
