15 Homes to Be Built Under ‘Build on Your Own Land’ Programme
The National Housing and Urban Development Company Limited has announced plans to construct 15 new homes across Antigua and Barbuda as part of its Build on Your Own Land Programme, which supports individuals who already own property but wish to develop it through government-assisted construction.
According to Director General of Communications Maurice Merchant, the initiative will see homes built in several communities, including Painters, Radio Range, Villa, Low Pasture, Clarks Hill, All Saints, Jennings, Quesada Gardens, New Winthrops, McKinnons, Glanvilles, and Herberts.
Merchant said the programme represents a key component of the government’s affordable housing drive, which aims to make home ownership more accessible while stimulating employment in the construction sector.
He noted that contractors are now being sought to undertake the upcoming projects. “National Housing is looking for contractors to execute this construction on individuals’ private lands,” he said, encouraging qualified builders to express interest through the company.
The Build on Your Own Land initiative differs from traditional government housing schemes, as it allows individuals to have homes constructed on property they already possess, with design and financing support provided through National Housing.
The company says the programme will expand in phases, with additional construction planned as part of broader national efforts to increase housing availability and improve community development.

I hope this program will have reputable contractors. It seem like a good idea and I wouldn’t mind inquiring about this program. It is difficult for homeowners to find reputable and reliable contractors who will not steal your money. Even family members who are contractors will rob you. I have an uncle who is a paternal half brother. I know he has his own construction firm so I came to him to inquire about building my home. This man told me he will have to charge me $40,000.00 EC to fly in an expert to do a soil test lol, it was my first situation of trying to build home and since I coming back to live for good he tried me and I was like ok, but in the back of my mind I was like this man mad in he head feh think I’m going to give him 40k to do a soil test lol. Antigua need reputable and honest contractors. We need an establishment that monitors contractors and their practices to hold them accountable and protect homeowners from getting robbed and scammed.
@lionman. $40,000.00 EC to fly in an expert to do a soil test?! Hahaha. What a joke! Your uncle must be a crook and must not view you as family (or just doesn’t like you!) but looks at you as just another client who he thinks he can overcharge. Ask around and you will find much cheaper options.
