Birmingham Group

The Birmingham Group aims to bring together anyone that would like to design, build and live in healthy and environmentally conscious buildings. The exact way this will work is in your hands! What would you want the group to do for you, and how can you help us do it?  Ideas and suggestions for the group are very welcome – please contact the group leader below.
