Re: Want to buy an unfinished house?
You still can build your own house in BC: https://www.bchousing.org/licensing-con ... er-builderGlacier wrote: ↑Jan 15th, 2023, 2:45 pm My brother built his 3000 sq ft house in Lake Country in 2015 for a little over 200,000, mind you, he had to buy the lot for 100 and something thousand, and he did a lot of the labour himself.
Rule changes since then mean that you cannot build your own house. Hiring a registered builder would have been an extra 100,000+ even 8 years ago.
The changes in regulations and myriad taxes have contributed to making it far more expensive to build a home. Government involvement has not led to increased affordability.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
