Bring your plans, get advice!
One of the show highlights is The Advice Centre, where consumers are invited to bring their plans along to receive one-on-one recommendations. Clear bespoke guidance will help avoid common pitfalls and will ensure that projects can be achieved on time and within budget.
This section also hosts the Ask the Builder area in collaboration with the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), which will allow homeowners to soak up vital information about works around the house through free 15-minute consultations.
For topics such as tackling structural engineer calculations, internal alterations and innovative project designs, visitors are recommended to make a stop at the Ask an Architect area. Here, chartered architectural specialists from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) will share their knowledge with visitors who have specific demands.
The Planning Clinic
One of the stepping stones when embarking on a project is making sure that the planning application is approved. For this, Sally Tagg and her team will be on hand at The Planning Clinic, offering the latest details about new regulations and laws, and advising people how to reduce the risk of being put through this stage again.
In addition, Potton, which focuses on building sustainable timber homes, will be hosting its Design Lounge to provide directions to people who want to make the most use of this material when building or renovating their property.
