NSBRC Survey Results

NSBRC Self Build Survey Results

In June 2021 we surveyed our customers, in partnership with the National Custom & Self Build Association (NaCSBA). We wanted to understand who are the people undertaking substantial homebuilding projects, what motivates them, and what barriers they are faced with.

We were delighted to receive 681 responses, allowing us to get a meaningful insight into the self-built homes market.

Some of the results from the survey are being used to provide data for the ‘Bacon Review’ a government report, requested by the Prime Minister, and being produced by Richard Bacon MP. The review will assess the opportunities and barriers to growth for the sector, and support a “major scaling up of self-commissioned homes”.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to participate in the survey.

Celebrating 11 Years of Employee Ownership with a Day of Adventure at Go Ape! 🌳

On Monday 23rd June, we celebrated our 11th Employee Ownership Day at Go Ape, another proudly employee-owned business. We spent the day doing tree-top challenges, team building, and plenty of laughs - all set against the beautiful backdrop of Swinley Forest, and it was the perfect place to reflect on what makes our team so special: collaboration, shared purpose - and a good dose of courage at points!
