Graven Hill at Build It Live
Build It Live Bicester takes place just down the road from Graven Hill. With a shared passion for helping others self build their dream homes, it was the perfect partnership.
Each Build It Live Bicester show takes place in association with Graven Hill. With hundreds of plots, this is the UK’s first large-scale self build scheme. It’s also the location of Build It’s own real-life project, the award-winning Build It Education House.
What is Build It Live?
Undertaking a self build, extension or renovation project is no small task. You need to be prepared, do your research and arm yourself with knowledge. Well, that’s exactly why Build It Live was created.
These annual shows, which take place in Oxfordshire and Kent, are dedicated to providing practical advice, project inspiration and product sourcing all under one roof – no matter what stage you’re at in your project.
The show will give you the chance to experience products first-hand and speak to experts in their fields as you make your specification decisions. From sourcing land to securing planning permission, choosing a structural system and managing your build and budget, Build It Live will help you ensure project success.
Discover What’s On at the Show, Who’s Exhibiting and the daily, expert-led Seminars and Workshops that shouldn’t be missed!
