Starting Your Self-Build: From First Idea to Design Brief

Presented by Sarah Mathieson, Managing Director of Fleming Homes – opens the series with the decisions that shape every self-build: the journey, the costs and the brief.

Self-Build, Step by Step

A free five-part webinar series for people planning to build their own home – five live evenings covering design, planning, manufacture and site preparation, each with open Q&A and a practical resource to take away.

Building your own home is one of the most rewarding things you will ever do – and at the start, one of the most daunting. There is a lot to learn, and most of it only becomes clear once you are already in the middle of it.

Over five Tuesday evenings, the people who design, plan, manufacture and erect timber frame homes every working day will walk you through each stage – in plain language, with time to ask anything you like. Whether you are still exploring or already hold planning permission, you will leave each session knowing your next step.
