Why is it worth attending ACA’s Self Build seminar at the NSBRC?

After years of experience delivering various seminars and creating content to help people in the UK building their dream homes, Allan Corfield is gathering a team of the top industry experts to deliver the ultimate Self Build seminars.

The seminars will provide attendees with practical knowledge of all the crucial areas of the homebuilding journey. This article will explain how visiting the seminar and speaking to our experts will help you build your dream home and avoid costly mistakes. 

For years ACA have been committed to helping self-builders. Our popular eBook, Learning Centre and Self Build blog have become the starting point for thousands of successful Self Build projects in the UK.

Allan Corfield has been working hard to inspire people around the country to build their dream homes. He is an expert contributor to the Homebuilding & Renovating Magazine and a regular speaker at the homebuilding shows in the UK.

After ACA’s recent expansion, we now have a permanent office at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre. Here, we offer our clients a Virtual Reality tour of their future homes. In addition to this, we launched our Self Build seminars last year, which we now host regularly.
