About Us

Selfbuild Ireland is a leading resource for self-build and home improvement in Ireland. Through expert advice, exhibitions, magazines, and online tools, we guide homeowners and self-builders from initial planning to the completion of their dream home.

History

Selfbuild was founded in 1995 by Clive and Gillian Corry, following their own experience of building a home. During the process, they discovered a lack of accessible resources, advice, and information for self-builders, especially when it came to products, materials, and expert guidance. Recognising that most self-builders, like themselves, were not construction professionals, Clive and Gillian set out on a mission to support others in building, extending, or renovating their dream homes. Through Exhibitions in the four provinces of Ireland, a magazine printed quarterly and more recently a dedicated website, we now help thousands of Self-Builders, Extenders & Renovators every year across Ireland meet suppliers, see lots of different products and materials and get expert advice and inspiration from the beginning to the end of their project.

Our Mission

Selfbuild aims to simplify and support individuals in their self-build or home improvement journeys through exhibitions, magazines, and online resources. We provide guidance and resources to navigate the complexities of the self-build process, from initial design to completion, helping you build your dream homes.

“I contacted this company as I was at a loss as to what to do with my back garden. They made the design process very easy and once I sent them measurements and photos, they got down to business and gave me a fab design which matched exactly what I was looking for. Very good value.”
