There is a distinct change happening all over the world with regard to new home construction. Governements prompted by consumer protection calls have tightened the building laws and increased the guarantee that builders have to provide. This has made liability insurance and management on e of the key ares of risk foir builders today.

The result is that there are less building licences being issued, less builders taking on third party projects and many people struggling to find a builder for their home. When they do find one they find bespoke or architectural homes are often too expensive due to both the limited supply of builders and the insurance and liability cover they have to carry.

Increasingly builders are deciding to build only spec homes that are then sold as finished packages to clients, or to work with owner builders who carry their own risk and do much of the work many builders hate the paperwork.

In the US up to  50% of homes are now owner built. In Auistralia the majority of building is sdtill project homes, where the client has little or no choice, but owner building is growing massively as clients seek to have their individuality reflected in their homes, but at a price which is acceptable on the market.

The kithome market can be either very simple kit homes to a set floor plan or can be as individual as the client demands. This is the way the market is moving, as the project home is often cheaper to build and there is little concept of quality of finishings in the equation, while those seeking quality at a reasonable price choose the owner builder solution offered by bespoke suppliers like Nu-Steel Homes.
