CLPM deliver Self Build and Renovation Courses 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 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 at the NSBRC are designed to boost your construction knowledge and help you face the complexities of renovating or building a new home.
We have a close working relationship with the team at the National Self Build and Renovation Centre in Swindon, and Charlie Laing, CLPM’s Operations Director, is the lead presenter and co-presenter respectively of two of their popular Self Build and Renovation Courses – the Project Management Course, and the Self Build Course.
