Welcome to the National Self Build Association – the voice of the self build sector.

Our objectives are:

To promote the release of more land for self build projects across the UK
To raise the profile of self building as one of the best methods of delivering new housing
To encourage best practice in self build
To provide a structured forum for people and organisations with an interest in self build
To be a central representative body to put the views of the self build community to Government departments and agencies, Parliament, the European Commission and other relevant organisations
To be a research and statistical centre, to aggregate and publish statistics, and to provide analysis on self build and other relevant market information

NaSBA was formally launched in October 2008. In January 2009 it launched a detailed report that explains how an increase in self building could help to stimulate the housing and construction sectors, and the wider economy. Since then it has met with officials from The Homes and Communities Agency and has been in communication with many Ministers, MPs and MEPs lobbying for their support. In July 2011, working with the Government, we published a detailed Action Plan to promote the growth of the UK self build industry. And alongside this we also posted a report looking at how self build works in a number of overseas countries.

All of these reports are now available in full online. Please visit the Reports page to view.

NaSBA also incorporates the former Association of Self Builders.
