Cohousing-L Mailing List: pre-built or owner built

[Deryk Wenaus (derykw]

I'm involved with a forming cohousing group in Nelson BC and we're 
contemplating two approaches to cohousing and seeking advice and experiences 
from the cohousing community. 

What are the benefits and detractors for the standard cohousing model where you 
plan everything out then build it all then move in vs an alternative model of 
only selling lots to members and then people build their own houses. 

The setting would be in rural. 

I look forward to replies.
