	Self-build homes are those in which the prospective home owner organises the design and construction of their new home themselves. This can range from expert self builders who may, to a large extent, be able to design and construct their home themselves, through to the more conventional route of appointing designers and a contractor to design and build the home for them. There are a wide range of possibilities in between, and self build also includes kit homes and community-led projects. See self build for more information.

−	Custom-build homes on the other hand are a less 'hands-on' variation in which the prospective home owner works with a developer that can take on the design and construction of the home on their behalf and may help find and acquire a site and arrange finance. Developers may also offer serviced plots within sites that they have already purchased and may offer a range of design options from which the client can select their preferred solutions. Whilst the scope for personalising the home may sometimes be slightly reduced by selecting a custom-build rather than self-build option, and costs may sometimes appear to be higher (although in the long-run, as the project is likely to be better controlled, the final price may actually be lower), the organisational burden is very much reduced, and there is less risk, less stress, and less potential for problems to arise.	+	Custom-build homes on the other hand are a less 'hands-on' variation in which the prospective home owner works with a developer that can take on the design and construction of the home on their behalf and may help find and acquire a site and arrange finance.
