When people think of knock down rebuild, they commonly think of how long it will take, how much and what are the steps to take.  Building a home is a significant achievement and involves many steps and processes from start to finish.  From the time the idea is initiated, it can take multiple years to the finished product.  There is limited information on the knock down process.  Sources include:

• looking at builders sales literature
• participating on online forums and
• looking a product review sites.

Overall the information is quite fragmented and takes a lot of time to get the whole picture.

For a more comprehensive description of the process, and practical guides for each step, there is a new resource “Guide to Planning and Building a Home on a Budget” available to answer some of the key considerations.
