Self-building is a major personal investment and quality and whole-life performance are a priority. The choice of structural materials can ensure that your home is robust, secure and will last for many generations whilst maintaining the highest levels of energy efficiency. Masonry and concrete solutions can meet these demands and are sourced locally, manufactured locally, delivered locally and readily available all around the UK.
This event provides practical guidance on Masonry and Concrete solutions and shares best practice for the design and construction of new, energy efficient, high-quality and comfortable homes for the long-term future.
