The 2014 competition was organised by the National Custom and Self Build Association (NaCSBA) and Grand Designs Live, and the prize fund was generously sponsored by British Gas. The competition challenged architects, designers and others to submit innovative ways of building a range of varying sized low cost and easy-to-construct homes on a typical urban site. On average the homes had to be buildable for less than £75,000 each. The judges included Grand Designs presenter and self build champion Kevin McCloud and the chair of the All Party Parliamentary Committee on self/custom build – Richard Bacon MP.
