Want to build your own home? Start with the Georgia Owner-Builder Information Kit.

If you are asking, “How do I build my own house?” or “Where do I start if I want to build a house myself?”, this kit gives you a practical starting point.

• The questions to answer before choosing the owner-builder path
• The major planning and construction phases
• Property, budget, financing, bid, and inspection checkpoints
• What you may manage yourself and where qualified professional help matters
• What owner-builder consultation can and cannot take off your plate

Building your own home is a major responsibility. Start with a clearer understanding of the decisions, risks, and next steps before you commit to a plan or supplier.
