What we can custom-build
Common custom modifications we do regularly:
- Non-standard dimensions (e.g. 9m × 3.5m, 7m × 4m)
- Different cladding or roof profile
- Custom kitchen layout - island bench, longer benchtop, specific appliance fit
- Alternative bathroom layout (wet-area shower, no bath, larger vanity)
- Additional or relocated windows + skylights
- Twin / triple bedroom layouts in the same footprint
- Off-grid / solar-ready setups
- Higher-spec insulation, double-glazing throughout
What we don't do
Things outside our build process: multi-storey builds (we're single-storey only), permanent foundations (we build transportables), and bespoke architectural design (we work to functional briefs rather than from-scratch architect drawings). If you want a bespoke architect-designed multi-storey home, you want a traditional builder, not us.
The custom process
Initial conversation: tell us what you want and we'll tell you upfront whether it's something we can do.
Sketch + indicative quote: we draft a basic layout and rough cost so you can sense-check the budget.
Refined design + firm quote: once you're committed, we refine the design with structural sign-off and provide a firm quote.
Sign-off + build: like a standard build, but the workshop sequence is adjusted for the custom elements.
Custom lead time: typically 2–6 weeks longer than equivalent standard sizes, because of the design work and non-standard parts sourcing.
Custom pricing reality
Custom builds cost more than standard - usually 10–30% more for the same internal volume. The premium pays for the design time, non-standard cuts, and the parts that aren't in our usual bulk-buy lineup. For most customers, picking a standard size and customising the internal layout is the value sweet spot.
