Struggling with your self build?

Building an eco home is both exciting and daunting.

There are so many things to think about and you’re only doing this once, so you want to get it right.

How do you spend your money wisely (when you haven’t done this before)? How do you find the perfect plot without breaking the bank? How do you work with professionals who will create a healthy, comfortable and energy-efficient home… and make this process a pleasure?

I can help take the stress out your self build by explaining what you need to do and when, so that you avoid the costly mistakes and create the home that makes you proud.

Ben Interviewing

Over the last 11 years I have immersed myself in the world of green building.

I’ve interviewed hundreds of green building experts and self-builders alike on my podcast, produced a documentary on the quality of housing in the UK, and visited countless homes to see what works.

And, importantly, I’ve tackled my own project and can relate to you on your journey. Life does get busy, challenges always crop up, but there is always a way through. My goal is to be your self-build sidekick – the trusted independent source you can turn to throughout the process – so you can steer clear of the major pitfalls and embrace what is a truly special experience.
