Design Ideas for Sloping Sites
A look at the design implications of building your own home on a sloping site
In all of their reports on housing, government have consistently remained ignorant of the existence of self builders. Yet we are the answer to so many of their problems. We build affordable houses. We build thermally efficient houses. We build good looking houses. We end up with a low loan to value mortgage. We trial new innovations.

Membership is just £5 and you can get details by logging on to www.nasba.org.uk There’s a meeting at 3.00pm on the 16th March at The National Self Build and Renovation Centre in Swindon. Why not join and come along?
