The SelfBuild & Design Show 2008 is the South West’s most informative and hands-on show for anyone interested in building their dream home, or simply getting some ideas and tips on upgrading.
Don’t be put off by the current gloomy talk surrounding the UK housing market! There are two good reasons to be cheerful and visit the show. First, self build opportunities are likely to grow in these market conditions and self builders are a particularly resourceful set of people – you have to be to undertake such a big project. Secondly, the show covers much more than full self build projects – you’ll find plenty of inspiration and information for all levels of home improvements, renovations and extensions as well.
At the show you’ll be able to take advantage of a wealth of advice, ideas, materials and know-how for your project. You’ll get the chance to speak to editors and experts from SelfBuild & Design magazine and choose from a full timetable of free seminars with Q&A sessions, showcasing case studies of real self build and improvement projects.
The show will feature an alternative construction method display with part built structures highlighting modern, traditional and eco-construction methods including: Timber Frame, ICFs (Insulated Concrete Formworks), SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels), Straw Bale and an innovative, fully sustainable timber framed house.
The SelfBuild & Design Show 2008 will have hundreds of products and South West suppliers all under one roof, so you can compare prices and get advice and inspiration. You can even get your hands dirty and learn home improvement and building techniques with continuous live demonstrations by experts and students from South Devon College.
The show is organised by SelfBuild & Design magazine, the essential magazine for homebuilders and renovators. Packed full of advice from experts, the latest product news and stunning photographs of completed homes, SelfBuild & Design has everything you need to know written by experienced self builders you can trust.
