Our Structural Steel ‘A Rated homes’ are an alternative to Block or Timber Frame constructed Homes. They meet all building and planning regulations for permanent homes. Because of their design and specification, they achieve an A Rating under the EU Building Energy Ratings (BER). We can also offer an A1 or passive house rating if required.
All our homes are constructed using structural steel frame panels
Our Modular home range are also constructed using steel frames but generally include lighter grade insulation as standard and a treated kiln dried Scandinavian wood exterior. These are not designed as a permanent structure and can be re-located if required. However, they are designed and constructed to withstand all weather conditions including USA wind speed loadings. All homes come with a guaranteed 25-year structural warranty, but they will last a lifetime with proper maintenance and care.

Yes, all our structures come with a 25- year structural warranty. This covers the actual structure of your building. If you make alterations that would jeopardize the integrity of the structure without consulting BRB this will void your warranty.

Yes, underfloor heating is our standard heating system for ground floor builds with radiators for additional stories. We have upgraded to a 65mm concrete screed floor over 200mm insulation for a complete solid floor.

Our homes are built to withstand the highest levels of winds. We have homes constructed for many years in areas right across the country including, seaside locations which experience very strong storm force wind levels.

For the A Rated homes it is just the same as a conventional build. You can paint it when you think it requires it. For the Modular Homes with the timber finish externally we recommend you paint the outside with a wood preserving treatment on a bi-annual basis.

We handover a Building Certificate of Compliance at the end of the construction phase. All our Factory Built homes come fully compliant with all building regulations and undergo a Building Control application which is included in our prices.
