The Naked House

Bring your clients along to show them this innovative exhibit! A section of a real house is built in the exhibition hall, so that the building materials can be observed as they would be in a real build project. This is a rare opportunity to see how a new build home could look at ‘first fix’ and also to see how various building products work together.

The Naked House presents various building products, including Insulated Concrete Formwork (ICF), exterior finishes, sustainable & renewable energy, floor joists and roof trusses.

Meet FMB

If you’re not already a member of the Federation of Master Builders you can come and meet them to discuss the benefits of joining. Or indeed, if you are an FMB trusted builder then come along and catch up with them!
