Build It

Who can provide a modular solution for my new project?

-

I am trying to find a good modular build company that does small scale projects. Unfortunat­ely, most suppliers seem set up to take orders of 50 plus modules, and I only need two. My preference is for a steel frame system (SFS) build that is a lightweigh­t frame. Are there any companies out there that would suit my build?

If you are referring to volumetric build systems, then there are only a limited number of companies that specialise in this – especially in the steel frame market. As you have found, most, if not all, of these will only be geared up for large orders. You may find that one of the many timber frame companies might be interested in helping you with your modular build. ese providers can offer you fully-insulated wall panels with windows (and sometimes more pre-installed. ey can also supply panelised floor and roof cassettes, so it could prove to be a very efficient option for your small scheme.

Build It’s online directory of suppliers, at www.self-build.co. uk/directory, would be a great resource for you to start looking for timber frame companies. You should also visit www.selfbuild.co.uk/modular to find out more about the various prefab constructi­on options that are out there.
