editor ’s letter
Welcome
Our annual Build It Awards gala evening saw the best of the industry come together to celebrate all things self build – and I was blown away by the quality and innovation that our sector’s trailblazing suppliers and designers continue to bring to homeowners in the UK. The products and projects that made it onto the shortlist demonstrate what the self build sector is all about –making our homes better, more eco friendly, cost-effective and inspiring. Huge congratulations to all the winners; it certainly was tough competition this year! I hope you’ll enjoy reading about all the shortlisted and awardwinning entries in our Build It Awards book, bundled with this issue.
