“I will be honest, I was sceptical about prefab until the Studio turned up. It is built like a tank but finished like a boutique hotel. Friends who work in the trade could not believe it was a prefab. The only small thing was a short wait for our delivery slot, but it was well worth it in the end.”

“I had been quoted a fortune for a normal build, so the Studio felt almost too good to be true. Every cupboard, every joint and every finish has clearly been thought about. The whole site was left clean and tidy when they finished. It has exceeded every expectation we had.”

“After months of getting nowhere with a traditional builder, we took a chance on the Studio. It is solid and quiet, you would never know the walls fold for transport. Thank you to the whole team, you have been brilliant.”

“From the first phone call to the day it was finished, the whole thing was painless. The attention to detail in the joinery and the kitchen really stood out. The standard of finish is far higher than anything similar we looked at.”

All inclusive. £160/mo.

Price anchor

A traditional build of comparable size and spec costs £90,000 to £140,000 and takes 8 to 14 months. You get the same space, a higher build standard, and you save tens of thousands and the better part of a year.

An upgrade most charge extra for

Triple glazed aluminium windows.
With blinds fitted free.

Most prefab buildings, and most new builds, ship with double glazing. Your Studio comes with triple glazed aluminium framed windows and doors as standard. Quieter rooms, warmer winters and lower energy bills, built in. We also fit premium blinds to every window and door before it leaves the factory. No upgrade fee. No catch.

  • Triple glazed as standard

    Aluminium framed glazing on every window and door, never a paid upgrade.

  • Blinds fitted free

    Premium blinds on every window and door, included in your fixed price.

  • Warmer and quieter

    Three panes cut heat loss and outside noise, so running costs stay low.

  • Built to last 50 years

    Aluminium frames will not warp, rot or rust for the life of the building.

Return on investment

Got some extra room? Fancy some extra income?

Run the Studio as a holiday let or Airbnb and it can recover its cost around 11 months. The lowest entry cost in the range, so a compact glamping cabin or one bed let recovers its outlay fast. Demand for distinctive accommodation on Airbnb and Booking.com keeps these units busy all year.

In use the same week

Three days a week on calls from the kitchen had stopped working for this management consultant. The Studio went in at the bottom of the garden with its own bathroom, so there was no traipsing back to the house between meetings. It was wired, heated and in use within the week.

  • Insulated room with its own bathroom
  • Fast broadband run from the house
  • Warmth from the ThermaSkirt skirting, no radiators
  • Minimal foundations, no wet trades

This family wanted to bring Nan closer without losing anyone's privacy. The Studio gave her a self contained home with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living space, set just across the drive. Close enough for tea, far enough for independence.

  • Full self contained one bed home
  • Level access for easy mobility
  • Finished and furnished before move in
  • Sited just across the family drive

Downsizing without giving up comfort

Lower bills, simpler living

After the children left, this couple wanted to free up the main house and live more simply on the same plot. The Studio gave them a warm, low maintenance home with everything on one level, and the running costs to match its tiny footprint.

  • Compact one bed home, everything on one level
  • Super insulated, very low heating bills
  • Fixed price with no overruns
  • Main house freed up to let
