Building Systems Workshop
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. Several influencing factors will shape your decision-making, including your plot and priorities for your build. Using our own unique educational zones, and working with a selection of NSBRC exhibiting partners, we’ll explore the pros and cons of each system, including: Timber Frame, Masonry, Insulated Concrete Formwork, Passivhaus, Structural Insulated Panels and Log Homes.
Start creating your perfect home at The National Self Build & Renovation Show. With an unrivalled line up of exhibitors and experts on hand to share advice, this is a brilliant event if you are thinking about finding a plot and building a brand new home, renovating a tired property or even extending your current home.

Creating a low-energy, future-proof home starts long before installation day. The heating and renewable systems you choose will shape not only your running costs and comfort levels, but also your home’s long-term sustainability and value. From heat pumps to Solar and battery storage, early planning is crucial to ensure the right technology, the right design, and the right performance for your build.
