Building my own home

10 years ago
HI,
I'm new to the forum and have been unable to find the answer to a couple of important question.

1. Can I build my own home, as a hands on, do it myself project?

Amplifying information: I have built a home before and am adept at stuctural aspects, but will still have to hire elect and plumbing contractors. I realize some Bahamians may be upset that I want to build my own home, as it seems on the surface to be taking away gainful employment from ptotential builders. However, I am seeking this as another life fulfilling challenge, rather than a withholding of employment opprotunities.

2. I will want to camp on my lot while building, is this allowed?

I have a stream of income and am not looking for work to sustain myself, so that is not an issue. This is strictly for my personal use.

Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
