We have successfully crowd-funded a documentary on why airtightness is so important in the construction of energy-efficient homes. One of our rewards (for backers who contribute £10 or more) was to feature them on a very special page of the House Planning Help website. This is that page!
There are those who talk about change and those that actually go out there are do something. The Roll of Honour includes names of those people in the latter group! We are hugely grateful to the following people for believing in us and validating our idea. The names are listed in the order that they came in. Where we know the information we have provided a link to our backers and/or their companies.

Finding Land
If you want to build a house then the first thing you need to do is find land. Suitable parcels might be few and far between. And when you do find one, you could face fierce competition. Not only from other self builders, but also developers with deep pockets and bags of knowhow. Our free course will lead you through how you find your dream plot.
