Offering versatility and flexibility, structural timber is currently used in over a quarter of all new homes in the UK.

Combining innovative timber technology with the many benefits of offsite manufacture, it’s a faster, more cost-effective and considerably more sustainable way to build. As the environmental challenges of construction become increasingly apparent, more and more builders, self-builders, architects and developers in all sectors are turning to the unique advantages of structural timber. With Simon Orrells, Managing Director, Frame Technologies.

BuildStore was established 20 years ago to deliver solution-based products to the self build and renovation marketplace and more recently custom build, the new emerging developer-led housing model. Learn how BuildStore can help your sales process to deliver more sales, and get the lowdown on elements that may limit your client’s lending options when it comes to funding their project.


14:50 – 15:30: A low carbon construction sector with Federation of Master Builders and The Green Register

The construction industry has the potential to make a positive contribution to reduce carbon emissions and address the climate emergency. Current regulations - if adhered to - can result in well built new build homes but existing houses are well under current standards and urgently need to be improved to reduce carbon emissions.

Phil Hodge, SW director of the FMB will introduce the Licence to Build initiative, followed by Lucy Pedler, architect and director of The Green Register, who will explain how the Futureproof initiative is training builders to improve the existing housing stock homes across the southwest.


15:30 – 16:00: An Introduction to Passivhaus Principles for Professionals with The Passivhaus Trust
