Due to the ever-increasing demand for extra space in our homes, the modular builds revolution has gained momentum in the UK and appears to be a smart and efficient solution for those dreaming of a home extension without the usual hassles and expense of traditional construction methods.
We can offer a Modular home extension as an ‘Extension In A Box’ that is ultimately a modular construction where building components or modules are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, then transported to the construction site for safe assembly. With a highly energy efficient Glass Reinforced plastic (GRP) insulated profile in place of traditional brick and timber construction, Extension In A Box provides a fast and efficient way to extend your living space with ease and without the wait of endless days of construction.
Not only does it include a sturdy base, but it is also engineered for construction using ground screws as foundations. This eliminates the need to have a pre-existing base or having to engage with an external contractor to provide a base solution. Extension in a box really is from foundation to finish. This innovative approach offers several advantages over traditional building methods such as:
The controlled factory environment reduces material waste and labour costs, making modular home extensions a cost-effective option for many projects.
The controlled factory environment reduces material waste and labour costs, making modular home extensions a cost-effective option for many projects.
Factory construction allows for strict quality control measures, resulting in higher-quality buildings with fewer defects.
Modular builds can be easily expanded, reconfigured, or relocated to accommodate changing needs, making them an attractive option for those that require flexible space solutions.
Modular construction can be more environmentally friendly than traditional construction methods, as it often generates less waste and consumes fewer resources.
The optimal approach for installation is using ground screws as they represent a sustainable, versatile, and cost-effective alternative to conventional foundation systems. Their minimal environmental impact, adaptability to various soil conditions, and economic benefits make them an attractive choice for modern construction projects seeking to minimise their carbon footprint and optimise resource efficiency. These screws are screwed into the ground using specialised equipment, creating a stable foundation for your chosen structure.
Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) combines the properties of both glass fibres and plastic resins to create a material that is strong, lightweight, durable, and corrosion resistant.
Overall, modular builds offer a faster, more efficient, and cost-effective alternative to traditional building methods and ultimately lead to a decreased carbon footprint, making it increasingly popular.
It’s impressive how the components are manufactured off-site, allowing for quicker installation with minimal disruption to your daily life. And the elimination of common construction concerns like budget overruns and endless chaos is a huge relief for homeowners looking to expand their living space.
