Jem Hudson, who runs Foundation Matters with his family, identified the pre-fabricated log homes solution at the Grand Designs show in Birmingham and immediately set about ordering two dwellings of 700 and 500 m2 respectively from the Canadian based supplier. After discussions with the local planning officer, Marley's Edgemere interlocking slate was identified as the perfect aesthetically pleasing and practical roofing solution which would complement the natural look of the log homes.
The main centre used 6800 Edgmere slates with the smaller manager's home requiring approximately 2300 slates in total.
