Hell we had deals where if you build the house yourself, they will give you the plot of land absolutely for free. But that was 30 years ago. I am absolutely sure people these days couldn't do it - either not manually skilled enough, but have the money, or manually skilled, but their job doesn't pay well enough to afford spending time building a house.
