Want to build this? Its easy!

We built this house for less than $25,000NZD or $14,700USD (Including the trailer!)

You can do it too. 

Here are the basic plans:

 

I designed this house using Sketchup, because it was simple to use for that purpose. 

if you would like the sketchup files – feel free to download them:

You will need sketchup or an web viewer to open those files. 

The costings excel file is below. It contains the items we purchased for the original house, where we purcases them, quantities and costings.
