Sponsored by EBS, #Build16 has brought together a team of trusted local professionals to walk house builders step by step through the build process.

The expo, which will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Letterkenny on Saturday, June 11, is designed for anyone building, renovating or extending their property - whether first time self-builders or experienced multi-site developers.

Organiser Garry Clarke, a property law expert from Lanigan Clarke Solicitors in Letterkenny, says the event is designed to help home builders save both time and money while achieving the best results in their build projects.
