The April issue of Build It + Home Improvement is out 24 Feb!

OUR READERS' HOMES this month just go to show that anyone can self build if they really want to. We've got some super cheap builds - two homes that cost under £92,000 each - one of which is constructed with insulating concrete formwork.

We also have a young family who won a planning battle to build a home on their farm, an amazing house built on a garden infill plot and then there's the story of a bungalow that was split to create two homes.

Our features bring you an in-depth look at brick and block, and there's essential guidance on designing your home - from the basics to our Design Doctor's insider guide to working with an architect

We've also got the answers to your questions about heat pumps - both ground source and air source - as well as plenty on what to consider when planning your kitchen.

PLUS we're giving away a Slot & Lock shower enclosure from Aqualux, worth £1,199. Click here to enter our competition
