Self Build on a shoestring competition

Have you entered the Self Build on a Shoestring competition?

The National Self Build Associated has announced a major new competition which is open to everyone.

Trying to showcase designs for clever sustainable homes, the NASBA competition is trying to prove that a low cost home can also be a very attractive one too.

A unique ideas completion, the aim is to design an innovative ‘self-build friendly’ home that can be constructed for less than £50,000.

The design must be a simple self-build home for a family of four; and all entrants will have to include a detailed cost report that itemises the materials used and their costs – as well as meeting UK Building Regulations.

The winners will win a prize fund of £5,000 and will be showcased at Grand Designs Live 2014.

Think you’ve got the winning idea? Visit the NASBA website to enter.

Submissions must be received by 5pm on Friday 20th September 2013.
