Building your own home is one of the most rewarding projects you can take on, and with the right team around you it does not have to be as daunting as it sounds. Most self-builds bring together an architect or designer, a structural engineer, a builder and specialist suppliers. As the Nudura ICF distributor for South West England, The Fell Partnership is the specialist on the walls: we supply the Nudura forms and give technical support and training to your builder and design team.
One of the first questions self-builders ask is: “How long will it take?” Every self-build is different, but many take somewhere between 12 and 18 months from planning permission to completion. Your architect will normally look after the planning application and drawings, and your engineer the structural design. If you are thinking about ICF, bring us in early, so the walls are designed around Nudura from the start and the build stays on programme.
The contemporary home pictured above shows the kind of design that is possible on a Devon self-build: a mix of timber cladding and render, with a flat-roof section that gives the roofline real contrast.
If you are planning to build your own home in Devon or the South West and want to know whether Nudura ICF is right for it, get in touch with The Fell Partnership. We would be happy to talk through your plans.
