The DIY-heavy projects are also some of the highest incidence projects.

Portion of Planned Spend Portion of Projects with Budgets
Slightly fewer planned projects that have
budgets are DIY, but they still make up more than half of the projects.
Even though pro projects only account for one-quarter of all plans, planned spend for pro
accounts for nearly half of all planned spend.
When planning projects, fewer than half actually have a planned budget

I take on do-it-yourself
projects only because of the
cost savings
I don't have the time to do any
do-it-yourself projects
I don’t have the knowledge to
do any do-it-yourself projects
There aren't many home
improvement projects that I
wouldn't consider doing myself
I prefer to do projects myself
even if I could afford to pay a
professional
*Top-3 Box
Different generations have different attitudes to work done on the home. Younger homeowners are more likely to undertaking DIY project, not only due to
cost, but desire as well.

DIY-driven definition
DIY Driven
DIY Driven homeowners prefer to tackle the majority of home improvement projects themselves, rather than hiring professionals (even if they could afford to pay
professionals). Their neighbors and friends come to them as sources of information about DIY projects, and they feel that they have both the time and knowledge to
complete most projects. They enjoy doing yard work.
