Summer brings more than just heat waves; it’s also the time when many construction sites suddenly start to look like the homes they will become. So whether you’re in the thick of it right now, or just enjoying the action vicariously as you sip something cool on your veranda, Homebuilding & Renovating is sure to deliver what you’re looking for. There’s a countryside self-build with period looks, an extension and renovation project that effected the miracle transformation of a terraced home in Worcester, and a curated collection of innovative extensions achieved on budgets of less than £50k.

On the more practical side of things, there are articles covering everything you need to do before starting on site, how to create outdoor spaces you can escape to while work proceeds on other elements of your renovation, and sensible ways to save by reusing and recycling materials that would otherwise end up going to landfill. That’s to say nothing of pieces on plot auctions, structural warranties, green homes section and the Homebuilding & Renovating Industry Awards. It’s page after page of homebuilding heaven.
