Homebuilding Essentials Live
Project Guidance Day
In-Person Support for your Self-Build or Renovation
In-Person Project Consultations
Get clear, structured input on your project.
If you want direct, professional input on your self-build or renovation, you can meet with me in person and get clear guidance on what to do next.
This is a focused, decision-based conversation and support to help you move your project forward.
Why meet in person
I’ve been working in live residential project delivery for over 25 years, and continue to manage projects alongside Homebuilding Essentials.
This means the guidance you get is grounded in current, real-world project delivery.
What we’ll cover
In your session,
Where your project is now
What risks or gaps exist
What needs to happen next, and in what order
You’ll leave with clear next steps and confidence in your direction.
Project Guidance Day
Hosted at The National Self Build & Renovation Centre
Lydiard Fields, Great Western Way, Swindon, SN5 8UB (M4, J16)
I run bookable Project Guidance Sessions here on selected Market Days throughout the year. These are dedicated days where self-build and renovation suppliers exhibit at the centre, making it an ideal time to visit, explore products and systems, and speak with industry specialists alongside your session.
The National Self Build & Renovation Centre is a permanent, year-round venue dedicated to self-builders and renovators, and the main location for Homebuilding Essentials Live in-person guidance days.
These sessions form part of the wider Homebuilding Essentials support environment, with priority booking availability reserved for active Homebuilding Essentials clients.
You can book a 1-hour session with me here, giving us focused time to review your project, discuss challenges or decisions you’re facing, and define clear next steps for moving your project forward.

New to Homebuilding Essentials?
If you’re not currently a Homebuilding Essentials client, you’re still welcome to arrange a session and meet with me in person at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre.
For many homeowners, this can be a valuable way to discuss your project, ask questions, and understand whether Homebuilding Essentials is the right fit for your build.
These sessions are designed to provide focused project guidance and direction, helping you better understand your next steps and where additional support may be beneficial.
