December Online Surgery: Case Study Live!
Hear how Tom Evans and his partner, Louise, self built their energy efficient, modern lodge-style home in North Wiltshire by using Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF) blocks and renewable technologies from suppliers sourced during their visits to the NSBRC.
They sought a new lifestyle with less reliance on fossil fuels, and to relocate, becoming mortgage free in the process – and they managed to achieve all these ambitions. We joined Tom for a special online surgery, where he discussed his project from the perspective of a novice self-builder, who self-managed the project, as well as offering his top tips based on real life experience.
Tom also took attendee questions live and provided a valuable insight into what helped make the project a success, and things to avoid! Tom is now deep into his second project – a highly energy efficient retrofit of a 1960's bungalow – and he gave advice to anyone currently researching their own self build or renovation project.
