Self-Build Cost Calculator

How much does a self-build home cost?

If you find yourself wondering “How much does a self-build home cost?”, you’re not alone. It’s one of the most common questions we get asked. The answer is that it depends on multiple factors around three main areas; the plot, the design and the specification.

Don’t be put off by thinking that a self-build project is too expensive - we cater to a wide range of budgets and offer a fixed fee approach. There’s no nasty hidden surprises. The question, really, should be, “What can CB Homes do for me with my budget?”
