Custom build project types include:
• Individual Custom Build - an individual purchases a plot of land and builds a house to live in. They may do some or all of the build themselves, or employ a builder, architect and in some cases, a project manager to oversee the build
• Group Custom Build - a group of people come together to design and develop a custom build housing development which they then live in. They may build this themselves or with help from a developer to manage the project
• Developer-Led Custom Build - a developer divides a larger site into individual plots and provides a design and build service to purchasers. This gives people a chance to tailor existing house designs to suit their own preference and needs

How we use information from the Register:
By signing up, you will help us find out more about the demand for custom build plots in South Kesteven, where people would like their plot to be and the type of house they want to build.
We will use the information to explore ways in which it might be possible for people and plots to be brought together. Registration does not however guarantee that a suitable plot will be identified, or become available.
We do not own land to provide plots for custom build.
We will not pass identifiable information from the Register on to anyone outside the council without the written consent of the person who registered their details.
