Colin and Mary met us at the Homebuilding & Renovating Show at the NEC in March 2011. They already had a plot of land in the garden of their existing home and were ready to go!

INTERESTING FACT: Colin has worked as a carpenter in the building trade all his life and has experienced many types of building methods. Using SIPs was their preferred method of build giving a quick build time (even in the middle of winter), maximum use of space (by utilising the loft space) and most importantly giving them an energy efficient home for their retirement.
