Brits keen to build their own homes and design their new kitchen around a new custom undermount sink or other appliances are set to benefit from hard work to improve the accessibility of the self-build sector.Housing minister Grant Shapps has been praised for his support for this industry, which is an encouraging sign for the housing market as a whole, according to Homebuilding Renovating editor Jason Orme.In addition to helping consumers already considering self-build developments, there is also scope for widening the appeal of the sector.Mr Orme noted [Mr Shapps] has been working with a range of leading industry self-build insiders to come up with some new ideas to help self-build become a more mainstream process within the UK housing market.Families keen to undertake a self-build project should consider all the design elements required for each room in the house, such as mixer tap and sink styles for the kitchen.This will help them to establish what their budget should be, prior to undertaking any work or applying for a mortgage.
