(you can confirm measurements on google earth) Therefore anyone buying a "huge" 40x80 or 50x100 plot in the city and surroundings to build a home should be respected, not being mocked for buying tuplotis.  People in those estates enjoy the same or better floor space because their houses are maisonettes, utilizing the vertical space as well. Better concept is to buy a home without buying land ie Apartment. Life is short. Live passionately.

At the end of the day, buying a piece of land and building your own house beats the option of going to the market to buy a ready made house.
Specifically on cost and the choice to design/customize the house to your requirements.

Only stubborn, delusional or naive pipo cannot see the sublime wisdom of this. Building a house at cost rather than paying market rates. This is why DC is the future because it is ground zero of this beautiful activity as HassConsult reports have shown.

This is why DC is the future because it is ground zero of this beautiful activity as HassConsult reports have shown. I would never undertake a project to build my own home for the same reason I would never want to build my own furniture, car, e.t.c. I can most definitely do it but at what cost?? The cost will be burnout, time wasted, and a substandard final product. It is much more profitable to get ready-made cars and stuff while I continue making more dollars at what I do best. I would `Build my own house` only if I don't have other serious things to do and are okay with the substandard quality I will get. Otherwise, there is a reason people need to go to school and get licensed to do these things. And that easily explains why the majority of DC and ushago "maisonettes" and "bungalows" are of poor quality and lacking proper amenities, even though the owners are so blinded by confirmation bias, they could never see it even under the bright light of noon sun. Price is a very relative thing, and money is an illusion. As long as you pay what feels like less than the value you will derive from the house, you are good. At the end of the day, the most valuable thing in this life is TIME, time is measured and limited, everything else is not Don't forget that most houses for sale are also very poorly done, so you will want to get one done by real professionals not wannabes

How dare you? We the people of DC do not need architects, Quantity Surveyors, contractors and Engineers. We have been bulding houses since time immemorial. In fact bulding housing has always been the work of our womenfolk. Life is short. Live passionately.
