WORKSHOPS, SEMINARS & DEMO DAYS

Our bespoke events are designed to provide you with everything you need to know when it comes to self-building with timber frame.

FLEMING HOMES’ FREE TIMBER FRAME DEMO DAYS

Our Demo Days are one day events where we delve deeper into the process of self-building with timber frame without a big sales pitch. The aim is to give you the knowledge and confidence to begin your self-build journey.

We have hosted multiple events in Scotland and England and we were pleased to welcome over 50 self-builders to our most recent day at the NSBRC in October 2024. The response was overwhelmingly positive and confirmed that we are providing our attendees with plenty of relevant information full of valuable takeaways.

We are working on finalising our schedule for 2025.

Please check back here regularly for updates on future events.

‘A very informative and entertaining day which also made some of the potentially dryer topics like VAT and CDM really engaging. I hope Fleming Homes put on more days like this so I can learn more. Well done!’ Richard Rogers

'The Fleming Homes Timber Frame Demo Day is a must: whether you are a novice or seasoned-campaigner at building your own home, you will learn a great deal.
