Self Build and Renovation Courses
CLPM deliver Self Build and Renovation Courses at the NSBRC for homeowners and self-builders throughout the year.
Whilst helping our clients with construction cost services, building project management support, heating system advice and energy efficiency advice is our main business, we also feel it is important to support self-builders by taking part in training initiatives.
The Self Build and Renovation Courses we deliver are designed to boost your construction knowledge and help you understand and face the complexities of renovating or building a new home.
Charlie Laing, CLPM’s Operations Director, is the lead presenter and co-presenter respectively of two of the NSBRC’s most popular Self Build and Renovation Courses – the one day Project Management Course, and the three day Self Build Course.
