Who We Are

The group that has been formed to steer this Association includes all sides of the industry – from local self build support groups to the organisers of a permanent national exhibition on self build; from a firm of architects that specialises in the sector to one of the main manufacturers of timber framed houses. Collectively we are known as the National Self Build Association (NaSBA).

All share the same core goal; to make it easier for people to obtain sites for them to construct their own homes. Several of the people involved in the group have already built their own properties, and they all know, from first-hand experience, just how difficult it is to find a suitable plot of land. Indeed many of them spent years trawling every possible source of land before they managed to unearth a suitable plot.

The group believes that there are literally tens of thousands of people keen to follow in their tracks, and they would start today, if it were easier to find a suitable piece of land.

The founding members of NaSBA are:

Bath and District Self Build Association
The National Self Build & Renovation Centre
Build It magazine
Potton/Kingspan
Architecture Verte
Ecomotives

Since then we have been joined by many other organisations linked to the self build sector and a number of committed individuals who are involved in self build
