Welcome!

Welcome to Home and Build the leading online resource for home owners looking to improve their home.

Extending your property, converting the loft or making better use of an underused garage are all ways to improve and add value to your home, but it is vital to get proper advice before you start work.

Homeowners considering any building project are advised to seek building control advice before embarking on building work to their properties. This advice is available free via your Local Authority Building Control office and could help save you money now, and help prevent problems when selling your property in the future.

Working exclusively with LABC, representing Local Authority Building Control in England and Wales, Home and Build publishes guides, advice, news and features to guide you through every step of the process and its professional building services directory will help you find the tradesmen, products and services you need to get your project up and running.

To see what we produce for your local Authority, please use our Local Authority Search facility on the right hand side of this page.
