Re:Builders will consist of a series of hands-on skills bootcamps, learning visits and mentorship from practitioners who are at the forefront of innovations moving us towards post-carbon futures and possibilities for their built environment. This programme is an opportunity for you and your organisation to:

• Learn how to identify and build regenerative design principles, skills, and practices into your business in order to meet the construction needs of the 21st century.
• Develop a comprehensive organisational needs assessment to best understand where your business is now, how these principles and practices might start to be embedded.
• Gain tailored support to build an action plan that will guide the transformation and future-proofing of your construction business and practices.
• Develop a working knowledge of natural and bio-based construction materials through hands-on building sessions.
• Understand emerging opportunities for your business to contribute to the social and climate transitions necessary in the West Midlands.
