Ideas book & Our Guide - Take inspiration from our Ideas Book where we've compiled over 50 of our designs. The Price Guide* can be used alongside the Ideas Book to cross-check guide build prices to help you to budget.
(*Please note - in the Price Guide, 'Guide Build Cost' refers to a finished home to a good specification, but excluding the land cost.)
More design ideas - Our Ideas Book wasn't enough, you wanted more! We've now compiled even more of our self build designs into this additional e-book.
build beautiful magazine - Our annual magazine is full of informative articles, the latest self build news & a look inside our customers homes in the most recent case studies. We hope you enjoy it.
