In January this year, the UK’s best self build and renovation magazines merged to form Build It incorporating SelfBuild & Design, creating one dedicated brand that aims to deliver an even better experience for both readerships. Kicking off with our February 2023 edition, subscribers and newsstand buyers of both magazines began receiving a new combined edition of Build It incorporating SelfBuild & Design.
Both titles have long been seen as the most detail-led titles for UK self builders and renovators, so we’ve strived to retain the most useful and inspiring aspects of both magazines. From design-focused guides and industry expert advice to the latest news in the self build sphere, you can be confident you’ll find the ideas, advice and information you’ll need to get your project moving all under one roof. Our combined exhibitions in Kent, Oxfordshire, Devon and Cambridgeshire are now conglomerated under the Build It Live brand, giving you unrivalled access to 100s of self build suppliers and the opportunity get first-hand advice from our varied team of experts – from sustainability specialists to planning consultants. As part of the merger, we also introduced SelfBuild & Design’s excellent
PlotBrowser.com website, which pulls together thousands of self build plots and renovation opportunities – all with the images, guide prices, site details and planning consent in the bag – to our array of valuable project tools. These include the Build It Estimating Service, providing an affordable way to get a detailed reference point for your project costs; our expert-led Virtual Self Build Training sessions; our annual Build It Awards, which celebrate the most impressive products and services in the self build and renovation market; our Self-build. co.uk website, packed with an archive of advice-led and inspiring content; and our Self Build Education House (page 30).
