Boosting the Self-Build Sector and Ensuring the Growth of Your Business

The last year has been a great opportunity for us to meet more of our readers, customers and the rest of the self & custom build community face to face – and this continues to help us mould our brand to better meet the market’s needs.

There are so many home shows in the UK calendar each year, and lots of magazines on the shelves – how do you choose which ones will work best for your business?

Build It remains true to its roots – focused, practical and bursting with expert advice, inspiration and product guidance.

97% of readers say Build It magazine is essential reading to their projects and we’ve seen over 11,000 people visit our last 2 Build It Live shows – all with real projects and money to spend.

Advertise in Build It magazine

Build It magazine is the most practical hands on title in the UK for self builders and renovators. It is a trusted resource for readers who are actively involved in major home building projects and making big buying decisions – 93% of readers use the magazine to shortlist products and services.

Advertising with us puts your business in front of this lucrative market.

Exhibit at Build It Live

Build It Live is designed for hands-on active people with real projects – just like our typical readers. Visitors interact face to-face with our magazine editors, exhibitors and industry experts and leave with all the inspiration and expert advice they need to progress their projects.

Earlier this month, we saw over 4,000 visitors visit our first North West exhibition and the third year of our South East show in Kent is bigger and better than ever – spread over 2 floors with new features and a great array of exhibitors.

Exhibit at Build It Live for face to face contact with real self builders and renovators with serious budgets.

Enter the Build It Awards

The Build It Awards are the most sought after accolade within the self build industry. They recognise excellence across the board in self build products, services, suppliers and projects. Winners are proven to generate valuable PR and attract increased enquiries and sales from self builders and renovators. Last year’s event saw a record number of companies fighting for an award at a glittering Gala Awards Dinner hosted by comedian Hugh Dennis.
