Follow Build It’s Self Build Journey

Self build has the potential to have a transformative impact on UK housing, offering better design, better quality and more choice to the millions of people across the country who want to own their own home – but don’t want to live in an identikit box.

The Built It Education House will empower more people to create a value-for-money home – whether as part of the Graven Hill community or further afield. Our goal is to make self building a normal, mainstream and affordable choice by providing transparency about every step of the journey.

Through detailed informational graphics and interactive demonstration, visitors to the Build It Education House gain access to a wealth of valuable information to help them create a home that suits their needs, tastes and – crucially – their budget, thanks to in-depth cost advice

Visitors can see and interact with the building fabric, materials and products that went into the creation of the Build It Education House – from the ICF walling system that enabled a cost-effective basement, through to the latest innovative energy efficient heating and ventilation options.

It’s FREE to visit the Build It Education House – so book your visit today and gain access to the advice and inspiration that will help you make a success of your project.
