Here you can read about Visitors of the Centre who have been inspired by the resources at the NSBRC, be it our popular National Self Build and Renovation Shows, or the array of Training Courses and Workshops run throughout the year, many have gone on to successfully complete a construction project. Why not take a look and see how the NSBRC can help you with your project?

Alan Muncaster
Alan completed a major retrofit of his detached bungalow in Weymouth, Dorset. The project included better insulation, photovoltaic systems, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, battery storage, and an air source heat pump, preserving the original floor plan. The bungalow's 82 square meter area saw its Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating rise from D in 2011 to A, significantly lowering imported electricity requirements.
