The process of getting built is very exciting and challenging. You'll really 
get to know one another.
We self developed , all but one family moved in and we got to
really learn about working together.
   Personaly I loved the process and wouldn't have missed it.
This was a time of rising costs etc which brought the usual delays, changes 
etc.
  We all still live here 5 years later.
  "Doing it ourselves" put a lot of wear and tear on some relationships, Who 
is leader? professionals vs hands on guys etc. etc.
   I'd definitely suggest hiring a developer and co-housing professionals to 
guide you through the many phases.
   It'll take a lot of time, a lot of money, and a lot of shared work how 
ever you do it.

   Best of luck  Louise Harris
