George Wilkie’s Building Your Own Home remains the go-to Australian owner-builder manual, walking first-timers through site selection, permits and budgets right up to final hand-over. First released in 1995, this Landsdowne illustrated trade paperback distils local trades know-how into clear step-by-step guidance.

Generous line drawings and pull-out checklists demystify foundations, framing, roofing, plumbing and finishing trades, making the hefty project feel manageable. Wilkie’s practical voice speaks to both young adults testing their DIY limits and seasoned homeowners chasing cost control.

The book is in good condition: pages are crisp, unmarked and dog-ear free, the binding is tight, and it comes from a smoke-free home. Light foxing appears only on the closed edges, leaving the internal surfaces spotless for reference on site or the kitchen table.

Ideal for Australian readers seeking a solid, pre-internet reference on home construction, this copy is ready to mark up with sticky notes or tuck on the shelf until the next build.
