Homebuilding and Renovating Show

More individual homebuilders are looking to specialist exhibitions to help achieve their dream homes.

The number of exhibitions offering expert advice and information for all domestic builders has grown significantly in the last few years. Regional Homebuilding & Renovating Shows have been launched by Centaur Exhibitions to compliment the National Homebuilding & Renovating Show which takes place at the NEC each year.

There are huge opportunities for individuals to create a new and exciting home for themselves. Around 20,000 people will undertake self-build projects this year by either starting from scratch or buying a wreck and converting or renovating it, jumping at the chance to stamp their own character on a home and create a truly individual living space.

The continuing popularity of the shows is not surprising, considering self-builders and renovators are now the largest group of house developers in the country. Those opting for this route of home-ownership also stand to save around 25% on the cost of an off-the-peg house.

The savings to be made attract many people. When conventional house buyers have to resign themselves to compromise when house hunting, the prospect of being able to choose every element of a home from the flooring to the bath taps is incredibly exciting for anyone who has a passion for the design and feel of their home.

All the Homebuilding & Renovating Shows offer a one-stop shopping opportunity for all would-be self-builders and renovators. High on the list of priorities for visitors is to sign up for the series of free seminars, which run daily for the duration of all the shows, covering everything from where to find finance to working with builders and energy efficient heating systems.
