Case Studies

Take inspiration from some of BuildStore’s favourite customer case studies. We’ve helped 27,000 people build their dream homes over the last 20 years, so if you’re planning a self or custom build, renovation, conversion or perhaps some major home improvements, whether it’s to live in, sell or let – we can help.

We could now fill a medium-sized town with our customer’s projects – that’s a lot of dreams come true!
