Why Choose A Modular Home

Published on 26 July 2024 at 15:06

We build highly insulated, low-energy, bespoke modular homes of the highest quality.

We deliver our homes throughout Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and across the UK.

Our Modular homes provide a very affordable solution with construction costs typically 30-50% less than conventional construction, built in just 8-10 weeks and providing a building with thermal performance and energy efficiency 200-400% better than typical construction – reducing your energy costs massively.

Our 3-bed homes start from just £75,000 – please view our brochures for more options.

Each of our modular builds is 100% bespoke to meet your requirements.

Simply let us know the size you need or your budget, and we can design a suitable one.

Can I have any size modular building I want? Yes, of course!

While we show a variety of specific designs in our brochures these are primarily just for illustrative purposes.

Every home we build is entirely bespoke to you

With modular construction the critical element is to build the size of your modules to suit your access on siteTypically any limiting factors or restrictirons will mainly be apparent in the last mile or few miles from the nearest two lane road and any lanes or similar aound site that have to be worked around. No matter how bad the access we have a diverse fleet of lorries, plant and machinery and a ‘can-do’ attitude. There is always a solution!

We manufacture in a range of common widths and heights to suit various limits – typical widths being 2.4m , 3.0m and 3,6m wide (8, 10 and 12 foot respectively).

Why choose our homes?

Our mission in establishing this business was to provide technically superior, warm, comfortable homes at a far lower upfront cost that cost an absolute minimum ongoing cost to heat and maintain.

To achieve this, we partnered up with Innovate UK, South West College and set out on a structured, in-depth research & development programme, known as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership, to develop what we believe to be the ultimate in high-performance homes – efficiency and stringent quality control in manufacture, energy efficiency, low energy demand and the highest insulation performance.  Items which are typically only achieved with a relatively high cost.

We wanted to provide this highly insulated home with low energy use performance while keeping costs as low as possible—in this way, we felt we could make the biggest positive impact on changing how homes are built.

Critical issues to ensuring a warm, comfortable home come from maximising insulation and avoiding thermal bridging.

Without paying very close attention to both these points, it is impossible to provide an optimally performing building envelope.

This is where even our economy range buildings stand head and shoulder apart from our competitors

Through our unique FastRoom™ system, we reinvented the way homes are built.

Our fast room system uses punched metal plate fasteners (also known as Gangnail Plates), which have been in use since `956 to manufacture roof trusses and engineered floor joists

We take this time-proven technology and simply apply it to a ‘whole house frame’ (floor, ceiling, roof, and walls) all in one portal frame matching the section of the building.

These portal frames are then spread out at 400mm or 600mm centres to create the required length of building.

Literally from the ground up, our buildings are designed to:

  1. Increase the speed of construction
  2. Improve the insulation and comfort
  3. Reduce the energy and cost required to heat our buildings
  4. Reduce the embodied energy (carbon cost) of actually building a home
  5. Use modern, highly automated manufacturing techniques to drastically reduce cost, improve quality and make buildings more efficient

A warm, highly insulated building is essential not just to reduce annual heating bills, reliance on fossil fuels, and environmental impact but also because it makes financial sense. A little extra spent initially (for example, on insulation) will be recouped many times across the building’s lifespan.

We build these high levels of insulation as standard on all our buildings—be it a small tiny home, glamping pod, log cabin, luxury lodge, or bespoke single–storey or two–story family modular home.

The key reasons to choose our homes are:

  • Affordability
  • Completely bespoke and customisable
  • Highest quality
  • Short lead times (typically 8-12 weeks)
  • Fast Installation – Typically installed on site in 1 or 2  days
  • Lifetime savings due to superb energy efficiency
