My family built our home starting in about 1990 when I was in high school. We built the entire thing ourselves. The only parts we didn't fabricate were the cabinets that my uncle built. We built a 3 bedroom 2 bath home with a study. I really cannot remember how big it was.
We built a 'pier and beam' foundation that created a cawl space under the house. We did our own plumbing, electrical, and hvac. We built in the country where the required inspections were minimal.
Even after having gone through the experience, I'm not sure what pointers I would give you here other than be prepared to do a lot of hard work and, if you finish, you'll probably be really glad you did it!
