What is the ideal size for a community self build group?
Ideally, keep your initial membership to no more than 6 people, because you cannot be certain what size of site/building will be available. Most groups should aim to build between 6 and 15 homes. Below 6, there are too few homes over which to spread costs such as a site supervision. Above 15, it becomes increasingly difficult for the group to keep together as a team. .
