A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The NBS is pursuing new research into how best to construct buildings, including housing. This report discusses one type of housing construction -- self-help, wherein the proposed occupant and owner builds his own dwelling either on his own, or collaboratively with a group of prospective homeowners. The self-help idea can also be applied to remodeling, rehabilitation, dwelling additions, or just minor repairs and improvements, for which it is also referred to as do-it-yourself labor. The report describes self-help, suggests how self-help projects can be supported, explores the feasibility of using component systems in self-help projects, and provides references and bibliographic materials.
