The two day exhibition will provide information on natural and recycled building materials and home furnishings. You can learn about designing, building, refurbishing, decorating and furnishing your home in ways that won't “cost the earth�.


Benfield ATT will also be representing Finnforest, Europe’s largest timber products manufacturer, offering a discount of all Finnlife Log Cabins. They will also have a Finnforest Beamlock DIY Garage Kit demonstration unit to show ease and simplicity of build. Norman Evans, South Wales Manager for Finnforest is pleased to be involved “Benfield ATT are leading distributors of Beamlock Garage Kits, which are equally suitable for use as high-quality Car Ports or Stable Kits – it proves excellent value for money for self-builders and developers alike�.


Benfield ATT Technical Sales Manager Paul Tappin, who will be available at the show for discussion, said “Timber frame’s precision means that the building is technically rather sophisticated, as well as very energy-efficient. This emphasises the importance of having a bespoke approach to self-building, and we will be at the Self-Build & Design Show to help, advise and discuss the various methods of self-building.�
