• So what are the big ticket items that I can do myself / design out of my extension?

  • I'd be interested in this.

    I always assumed that it's mainly going to be interior stuff.

  • Tbh nothing.
    The big things are the planning, the steel and the foundations.
    Things like kitchen are just garnish.

  • If you have the time to commit to it - with your skillz- you could defo design it in a way that you DIY elements. If you accepted timber frame construction and some kind of cladding externally you avoid messy specialist stuff like brickwork. But I'd reckon you'd need a careful plan from the outset on who does what when and it would be a massive commitment time / stress wise. Doing any decorating (paint) is an easy save of a few grand - but again time...
