With summer beckoning, I’ll warrant many of you are making hay while the sun shines and getting stuck in to the nitty gritty of your projects. That’s certainly the case on site at the Build It Education House. We’ve just fitted the SIPs roof (see page 62 to find out why we plumped for this panelised system, and how the install went) and are motoring ahead now that we’re (almost) in the dry. With the roof on, we’ve even been able to get the whole Build It team on site to see our real-life project in action. Check out our Twitter account (@BuildItMagazine) to get the latest behind-the-scenes updates from our groundbreaking self build scheme, or log on to www.self-build.co.uk/ourhouse to get the full story so far.
Opening later this year as a unique learning experience for people who want to create their dream home, the Education House is part of the innovative Graven Hill custom build scheme in Bicester, where up to 1,900 bespoke projects are set to be completed in the next 10 years. Bicester is also home to our next Build It Live exhibition on 8th & 9th June. The show is the perfect place to get practical expert advice and inspiration for your self build, extension or home renovation.
