Selfbuild Materials

Self build is now a mainstream method of home ownership in the UK with more than 20,000 couples each year self building their own home. So the safebuild materials market is on the rise. Nor do you need any specialist building knowledge to embark on a self-build project. Self builders come from all walks of life - teachers, policemen, company directors, plumbers, pilots, retired couples; there is no typical self-builder, so have no fear. If you are not ready to fancy a year in a caravan in a muddy field, you have come to the right place. We can now dispel one of the first myths about self-build that it is somehow a miserable, DIY process that requires you to learn how to mix concrete and endure life in a cold caravan while your house is being built. 

Modern self build could not be further removed from that depressing scenario. Using a specialist mortgage product, you can stay put in your existing home until your new house is ready for you to move into. Secondly, you won't be doing any of the actual building work yourself - you will be employing specialists to carry out all the trades for you. And as for mud? Well you would be well advised to invest in a hard hat, warm coat and a pair of willies because you will be making a few visits to your site over the coming months to supervise and specify the work that is being carried out on your behalf, because that primarily is your role to achieve a uniquely individual home for you and your family. 

The major benefit is undoubtedly the huge gain to your lifestyle that comes from being able to have an input in the design of your own home. Whether it's a spacious "live-in" kitchen, a snug den, a granny flat or some private, soundproofed teenager space only you know how you and your family want to live. With our safebuild materials, you can shape up your dream. Self build is all about your direct involvement in the design and construction of your new home.
