Self-building with Potton

Over the last 30 years, Potton has helped thousands of people build their own homes, from first time self-builders with absolutely no knowledge of timber frame or how to build a house, to experienced builders and developers. Our client base includes people from all walks of life - plumbers, policemen, retirees, farmers, airline pilots and many others.

One of the major benefits of building your own house (self-build) is the huge gain to your lifestyle that comes from being able to influence the design of your home to suit your personal needs and taste.

With the help of the Potton team, you will be able to decide from day one how you want your home to look and feel, and choose your room layout to suit your personal lifestyle. We offer fantastic flexibility and breadth of design options.

Alternatively, you could make your home cheap and efficient to run with the integration of eco-options such as enhanced factory fitted insulation, solar thermal hot water, air source or ground source heat pumps, photovoltaics and many other energy saving and energy generating enhancements. Or just integrate your iPod into the wall with speakers in every room. The choice is yours.

At the end of your project you should have a much larger, more highly specified home than you could ever buy on the open market and, more importantly, its value will be considerably more than it has actually cost you to build.

What do our customers tell us? “One of the greatest rewards of building your own house (self-building) is the sense of personal achievement we feel having created a new home for our family”.
