Plot & Gable

Self-build, explained

We’re ordinary UK self-builders sharing the costs, choices, setbacks and lessons behind our home-building journey.

Meet the makers
A charming country house with red-framed windows and a white picket fence, surrounded by an autumn landscape. The red and orange leaves create a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the gravel path leads up to the entrance. The house is accompanied by a small stone wall and is set against a clear blue sky.
The image features a wooden structure with a carved name and website link engraved on the surface. Adjacent to the wooden area is a metallic section with evenly spaced vertical slits, providing a sleek and modern design.
