How you can help
A thriving self-build movement isn't just about one company's mission—it's a community-wide effort. At Livedin, we've seen firsthand how the passion and contributions of motivated individuals elevate everything we do. Whether you're a seasoned architect, a first-time landowner, or someone simply intrigued by the idea of building your own home, you have a role to play.
1. Spread the Word
Share our mission and successes with friends, family, and colleagues. Every conversation about self-building helps dismantle misconceptions and encourages more people to dream, design, and build on their own terms.
2. Volunteer Your Skills
Are you an experienced builder, landscape designer, or sustainability guru? Consider offering pro bono consultations, leading workshops, or mentoring budding self-builders. Your expertise can have a profound impact on someone just starting their journey.
3. List Your Land
If you're a landowner or know someone who is, reach out. We work to ensure fair compensation and a transparent process, making it easier to see your land developed into a vibrant community of unique, self-built homes.
4. Share Your Story
Completed your self-build? We'd love to hear it—and so would the rest of our community. Case studies of real builds are invaluable sources of inspiration, providing practical tips and emotional motivation for others walking a similar path.
5. Participate in Our Events
From neighbourhood plot tours to online Q&A sessions, our events are a linchpin of community growth. Show up, ask questions, connect with fellow enthusiasts, and help us continue fostering a culture where knowledge and support flow freely.
6. Register your interest
By registering your interest in our ‘plots in the pipeline’ you will help increase the likelihood of the site gaining permission. You will also be the first to hear of news and progress, and have the opportunity to register for a plot. The self build law is all about delivering enough plots to meet the demand, so your vote counts.
7. Give Us Feedback
We're always innovating new platform features, forging partnerships, and refining our processes. Your input—what works, what doesn't, and what you wish existed—guides our evolution. Keep the conversation going by reaching out with ideas, suggestions, or even constructive criticism.
By actively engaging in any (or all) of these areas, you become part of a larger movement dedicated to making self-build housing an exciting, inclusive, and accessible reality. Together, we can shape a housing landscape where everyone has the freedom and power to create the home they truly want.
