Hello,

I would like to ask the community who has been involved in helping with their own house construction and what kind of tasks you carried out.

Best regards,
Anleh

Building your own house is truly great, especially because you can be proud of it afterward and even show off a bit to your friends 😀. However, you shouldn’t overestimate your own abilities, as the way houses are built nowadays (electronics, insulation, etc.) has changed significantly. I believe that sooner or later, you will definitely need to hire a professional.

So far, I haven’t built a house myself, but I have helped a lot with renovations, and for my own house construction, I will definitely do all the interior work myself. This includes installing electrical wiring (connection will be done by a friend, an electrician), laying floors, plastering walls or installing drywall. Basically, I plan to do everything except the shell construction and the external rendering myself.
