Potton Self Build Academy Online

Our Academy has continued to grow and now boasts over 10 different courses, events and masterclasses, each tailored to a different stage in your self-build journey. In addition to our courses, we have developed an extensive knowledge base, and the information provided in our articles is a great place to start your learning. We cover a range of popular topics including: plots, finance, planning permission and house design.

The Self Build Academy is now ONLINE!

Join our Managing Director, Mark Stevenson, and our Self Build Director, Paul Newman, for our online self-build courses.

Since it started in 2014 the Potton Self Build Academy has supported thousands of self builders with expert advice on everything self build, from finding land and appraising a plot all the way through to managing the completion of your build.

Most of the courses have been delivered face to face at our Show Centre near St Neots – this is currently not possible so to help every self builder keep their project moving we are working hard to make content available online via our website, Facebook and Youtube.

We’ve got plenty more content planned for the coming weeks and are trying hard to come up with new ways to help and inspire you - so be sure to follow us, subscribe and keep checking back for more.
