Barry has worked in the building trade for 30 years in a number of roles and has continually hit barriers when it comes to finding a tradesman, a plot of land or just getting basic, general advice.
For that reason, Barry has launched his website which contains the following:
An Essential Guide – the culmination of 30 years experience written in “guide” (not “manual”) form. This gives personal learnings, hints, tips and ideas for anyone involved in a project.
A Trade Directory – Whatever the trade, whether it be plumber, plasterer, builder or joiner, you will find entries for your local area as well as further afield. This is a free service.
A Land and Property Section – Free access for anyone looking for a plot of land or a property to convert.
A Community Section – Again, a free service allowing everyone to get together in a forum to share ideas, ask questions and generally communicate advice.
A News and Events Section – This allows any registered business to submit their news to help keep the general public up to speed with the happenings in the building trade.
A Special Offers Section – A quick guide to bargains
A Graphic Design Directory – a service which designs adverts for businesses to use when advertising on the website.
This covers just some of the services provided by building&diy.com. You can click here to find out more.
Look out for the interview we did with Barry in a forthcoming podcast to hear just how convinced he is that he has put together a sort of “holy grail” for self-builders in the UK.
And please, let us have your comments on what you think about the service
