Sustainable self build & renovation

Sustainable self build & renovation

The Housing minister wants us to become a nation of self builders and commissioners, encouraging more people to join the thousands who already undertake their own projects every year. These are projects being undertaken for reasons more complicated than just profit. Amongst these self builders and commissioners we see incredible thought, attention to detail, ambition and passion. This stream explores the challenges of building it yourself, offers solutions, and celebrates the achievements.

All sessions will take place in South Gallery 21 & 22 sponsored by
