Introducing our new self build magazine.

The team at Houseplansdirect is pleased to announce the arrival of our new baby – Self Build Success.

SBS is a digital self build magazine for those interested in building their own home. With articles covering design, technical advice and finances, there’s something for everyone – no matter which stage of the self build process you find yourself at.

The first issue is just 99p and features the following items:

• Open Plan Living – it’s all the rage at the moment, but what are the potential pitfalls, and what do you need to bear in mind? Our expects put life in the open under the microscope.
• The True Cost of Self Build – budgetary figures for your self build project are easy enough to come by, but are there any hidden or less obvious costs you should be aware of? We highlight some of the areas you may want to keep at tight rein on.
• Country Style Kitchens – how to achieve a rural look for your cooking and dining space while still building in all the mod cons and home comforts you’ve become accustomed to.
• Low Maintenance Gardens – some people just aren’t naturally green fingered, but would still like a pleasant and tranquil garden to enjoy once the good old British weather bucks its ideas up. We look at how you can have the best of both worlds.
• Smaller Homes – more than half of the households in the UK are now occupied by either a single person or a couple with no dependents, but the housing stock doesn’t meet these rapidly-changing needs. Luckily, we at Houseplansdirect have the answer… our new project Smaller Homes. Find out more in this month’s issue.
