An architect would have to draw up the plans for the house. If asked, I would and could build it... Bachelor of Science, Civil Engineering, structural engineer. Master of Engineering, materials science.
Even so, give me some time. I'm no longer a young man!

Absolutely, but it would have to be someone special. I'm not just building a house for any ordinary girl.
I don’t know how to build a house but I don’t mind doing what I can such as carrying wood from one area to another so that the other guys can build the house.
I have helped build hundreds of homes for the less advantaged and veterans through Habitat for Humanity and Homes4Families. It's a very gratifying experience and can provide you with much useful information, along with meaningful interactions with others. There are many similar organizations around the world. You don't need experience (though I had previously designed and built my own home). It's not a guy thing... there were female helpers, also. If you have the time and are willing to help out, check out your local opportunities.
I don't do it for a living, but I pretty much know how to do everything when it comes to residential construction and if I don't I can figure it out. So it gets done, but I know I take more time than specialist tradesmen that dose the same work all day every day. Building isn't hard, but it does take a lot of time and energy to do everything yourself. I'm currently building out a guest house that is about 700 square feet on my property. Yesterday morning before work I installed a 200 amp solar ready combo meter-load center for electric hook up. I will probably do my home runs this morning for all my circuits. Would I do that for some random girl? No... It's a lot of work lady and materials aren't easy too easy to find at the moment. I don't have an issue building things on my property, so if I was married and something needed to be build I could probably do it over time, but it would depend on if we really needed it.
Not sure what that has to do with a guy being hardworking. Do you know how much labor is involved in building a modern home? It would probably take a couple years doing it by myself. Since I'd still have to work a full time job. I've taken on pretty big projects around the house. Even doing a pretty heavy remodel. That much goes on to being absurd.
No I only build a house for myself primarily and secondary for my family. So never for them alone. And if I do all that work be damn sure I will be the king of it.
I could learn how to do surgery too. It'd take about 7 years.
What's the fucking point? I spent 20 years acquiring my actual skill set, for which I can command a large salary. I'll stick to that. You need to widen your horizons on what you think hard working means.
I absolutely would not, if I were forced to build a house I rather be the sole decider on the actual house, she would have to do something extra back for me for giving me such a tedious job
I think we all want to find that special person and it is (for me at least) natural to want to provide for her (but only for someone that I love and loves me)
Carpentry is not my long suit so, best I could do is HELP with SOME of it. If I could build a house by simply playing a drum solo or a stack of records, I'm there!
Hard working guy or are you looking for a sucker. I will help my true friends do anything they need. But I won’t give time money and effort for someone that’s too lazy to work hard themselves
