Building Systems Workshop Saturday 18th March – 10am – 3:30pm
(Centre doors open from 9am – 5:30pm)
The Building Systems Workshop is for people at the early stages of a project, who have yet to decide what building method they are using. The building system is the method used to construct the superstructure of the house, and therefore one of the most important decisions you will make during your self build journey is which building system to use.
This is your opportunity to explore the technologies available to you – weighing up the pros and cons of each, alongside your budget and deciding which approach best suits your specific project.
Workshop Highlights:
The popular ‘Battle of the Building Systems’ panel discussion
Exhibitor presentations with the opportunity to ask your questions
Industry experts offering free ‘1:2:1’ appointments
Guided expert tours in our new build educational zone.

March Online Surgery: Funding your Project
Thursday 30th March (7pm – 8:30pm)
The most successful homebuilding plans are those that have been planned well from the start and this means knowing your budget and understanding your borrowing options early on.
In this one-hour session, focused entirely on Funding your Project, BuildStore’s finance expert, Tom McSherry, will look at everything you need to consider when it comes to planning, designing and financing a homebuilding project.
Find out how to set your budget and manage costs, how your choice of build and materials can affect your borrowing options, the different types of homebuilding mortgages and finance available, and how to ensure you have sufficient cash available to complete each stage of your build – your cashflow.
