Eco Workshop: Building Systems & Project Management
A key decision for any self builder is choosing what materials you will build your home with. When combining the desire to produce a comfortable, energy efficient home offering high performance and utilising natural materials there are many choices available. Our workshop will help you understand your options and ensure you end up with the home that delivers against your original design brief, budget and expectations. We will also cover the role that the self builder plays in the construction process, whether it be self-project managing, package managing or using sub-contractors – addressing the relative merits and drawbacks of each route.
It begins with an idea and ends with your dream home. We've put together a line up that's both informative and inspiring. Across all three days you'll have access to a range of seminars, Q&A sessions, live demos and free one-to-one consultations with our experts, and of course, over 200 exhibitors showcasing the latest building products and services.
This workshop is aimed at people in the early stages of a project, who have yet to decide what building method they are using. One of the most important decisions you will make during your project is which building system to use, as this is used to construct the superstructure of the house.
The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfort, quality and lower running costs, in any type of building. We spend most of our time indoors, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing.
