I built my own (hexagonal, timber framed, dwarf wall with glass roof) conservatory 2 years ago including:
1) Doing the drawings and obtaining planning permission (permitted development rights had been removed from the property)
2) Digging the strip foundations with a mini digger (great fun)
3) Supervising the concreting (barrow mix)
4) Building the inner blockwork and some of the outer stonework (a mason did the angles)
5) Constructing the conservatory from a timber framed kit (very complicated)
6) Glazing (32 panes!)
7) Fitting the doors
8) floor joists, insulation, flooring (oak)
9) plastering, heating, lighting, electrics, windowboards, skirting, painting
10) Enjoying a glass of wine with the Mrs
Original quotes ranged from 20-30k
Total cost 8k
Go on, do it.
