The latter one if the tonality allows. The headline of a CNN article from 6/05:

German term (edited):
Häuslebauern
individuals building their own homes
Given the connotative cultural content of "Schaffe, schaffe, Haeusle baue", I think the term is best circumscribed.
Example sentence:
"in order to offer individuals building their own homes attractive loans"

German term (edited):
Häuslebauern
those taking the self-build route
this is so unusual in UK as opposed to Germany that it needs re-writing if for this market
