Thinking about a modular self-build but want something more ‘you’ than an off-the-shelf model? Maybe you’ve got a Pinterest board full of dream finishes… or you need a space that’s perfect for an elderly family member, or even a compact studio for your home-based business.

Good news: our Bespoke Design Service is here to take your ideas and turn them into a build-ready plan that won’t leave you stuck when it’s time to get the spade in the ground.

Why invest in a professional modular design service?

Designing a custom modular home is fun — but trust us, it’s more than just choosing pretty tiles. From materials that actually exist and can be sourced, to floorplans that actually pass planning, there’s a lot to think about.

When you choose our in-house design team, you’re getting:
✔️ A clear process — no endless guesswork or rework
✔️ Realistic visuals — see what you’re building before you build it
✔️ Build-ready documents — so your project doesn’t get stuck at planning stage
✔️ Cost certainty — we design to budget, so there are no nasty surprises when you price it up

Who’s on your dream team?

When you use our design service, you’re not just hiring a lone freelancer. You’re getting:

Your dedicated designer — your guide for sourcing materials, layouts, and finishes, plus sustainability checks
An architect — to produce accurate floorplans and layouts that meet building regs
A structural engineer — to calculate weight loads, timber frame details, and ensure it all stands up
An electrician — who’ll plan your sockets, lighting and switches
A rendering specialist — so you can see your ideas come to life in realistic images
A project manager — coordinating it all so you stay on track

All included in your £5,000 design fee — which covers ~40–50 hours of specialist work.

What happens during the process?

1️⃣ Kick-off call — share your vision, must-haves and budget
2️⃣ Design sessions — we walk you through material options, finishes, layouts
3️⃣ Custom sourcing — want something special? We’ll check stock, eco credentials, installation feasibility
4️⃣ Floorplans & engineering — full plans, structural details, weight/load calcs
5️⃣ Electrical drawings — no scrambling later for where sockets go
6️⃣ Photo-realistic renders — your dream space, visualised in detail
7️⃣ Final build-ready pack — with pricing, materials list, and construction drawings for you or your team to use

Planning permission? Sorted.

Need to submit your bespoke design for planning? You’ll have all the technical details — from accurate sizing to material specs — ready for your planning officer or your development team to review.

Build with us — or take your pack elsewhere

Once your design is done, you can:
✔️ Build with us — we know your model inside out and can deliver it at a fixed price
✔️ Or take your pack to another builder — it’s yours to keep and build wherever you like

📊 DIY vs. Professional — what’s the difference?

Sure, you could manage this with freelancers. But here’s the catch:
❌ Disconnected work — each freelancer does their bit but no one joins it up
❌ No quality control — your dream materials might be impossible to source or cost 3x your budget
❌ Hidden costs — pretty 3D designs aren’t much use when you realise your builder can’t deliver it as drawn

✅ With us, you get one team, joined up, with your budget and eco goals in mind — and a build-ready pack that won’t leave you high and dry when you get to site.
