Scottish Self Build Forum

Getting Scotland Self Building

With a long tradition of self build housing in Scotland, BuildStore believes that self build has the potential to become mainstream housing supply route, and that Scotland could lead the self build sector in the UK. Supported by the Scottish Government, the Forum brought together delegates from the housing, mortgage and construction industry, to explore the opportunities for a more accessible self build sector throughout Scotland, to help boost local economies and provide better, more affordable homes.
