Sourcing Materials

When sourcing materials my design will seek to utilise renewable and / or local materials as far as possible. This gives me a check-list that will help in the selection of materials. Materials that answer the earliest questions on the list should be selected – subject to as ever costs.

  • Is there a renewable or sustainable material that is suitable for purpose?
  • What is available on site?
  • What is available locally (Carmarthenshire)?
  • What is available in the region (Wales)?
  • What is available nationally (UK)?
  • What else is available (world)?
