Positives:
>complete customisation, you will be able to build the house for what you need instead of a housebuilder doing what's quick & easy and will sell
>It will likely be cheaper than than buying one.
>you pick the location

>It is high risk, even if you do everything perfectly something catastrophic could happen.

>the process can take multiple years
