Get set to build

A great place to start your project is on our website with our handy step-by-step e-booklets. Our guides take you through extending and renovating your home as well as giving you clear advice to make it more sustainable.  Whilst these guides don’t replace professional advice, they should give you a much better understanding of where to start. They cover the main challenges that you are likely  to face and how building regulations will affect the design and construction of your project, as well as taking you through planning and other permissions you might need to consider.
