Self / Custom build solutions.
Inspiring courses for professionals. Bristol 2013
Self build / custom build is an exciting, flexible and realistic solution to housing need.
“What if each household in the UK had the option to build their own place, with support from agencies and government, within flexible and resilient design codes? We’d see people sharing skills and saving money. We’d see neighbours working together on community self build schemes and local construction economies thriving. And we’d certainly see more energy efficient buildings and a wider embracing of green technologies.” Kevin McCloud.
