Design changes are possible before production begins, but deposits and certain costs are non-refundable.

To keep everything clear and fair:

• Your initial deposit secures your build slot and covers design work – this is non-refundable.
• Specification changes can be made up until materials are ordered.
• Once production or material procurement has started, changes may:
• incur variation fees,
• extend lead times,
• or in some cases be unavailable.
• Cancellations after materials are committed or production begins are generally not refundable due to manufacturing costs.

We always walk you through your design thoroughly before sign-off to avoid surprises. If you’re unsure about anything, let us know before we lock in your production slot.

You can reserve your build slot and begin the design process, but we strongly recommend having land secured before placing a full order.

Here’s how it works in practice:

• You can pay a deposit to reserve a production slot while you finalise land.
• We can start design work, layouts, and specification planning.
• Full production cannot begin until you’ve confirmed a delivery address and access suitability.
• We do not offer long-term storage, so delivery must be possible once the cabin is complete.

Sure, we can provide:

• Floor plans
• Technical specifications
• Invoices
• Build details
• Certification
• Supplier documentation for systems (solar, batteries, etc.)

This makes the finance process much smoother.

It depends on your use:

• Full-time residence – usually Council Tax
• Holiday let – often Business Rates
• Temporary/mobile use – may be exempt

You should always consult your local council who can confirm based on your land and usage.

Yes, building/structural insurance only covers the cabin.

If you want protection for your belongings or furnishings, you’ll need contents insurance too.

Yes, structural warranties are transferable to the new owner.

Simply inform us so we can update the documentation.

Typical lead times are 12 – 16 weeks depending on model and capacity.

A deposit secures your production slot, and delivery is scheduled after specification sign-off.

High-quality modular and container homes hold value well due to their durability and steel structure. Resale value might depend on:

• Land ownership
• Planning status
• Specification & condition
• Whether off-grid systems are included

Our homes typically retain strong resale value when maintained properly.

Yes, your cabin should be insured like any modern modular home. You may need:

• Buildings/structural insurance

• Final balance before delivery

Finance can be arranged depending on model and requirements. Your consultant will break it down after your enquiry.

Traditional mortgages usually require a permanent dwelling with full planning permission.

For cabins, tiny homes, and container units, customers typically get finance through:

• Specialist modular-home lenders
• Business asset finance (common for hosts/investors)
• Personal loans
• Company purchases (Ltd companies buying accommodation assets)

We can provide the drawings and documentation lenders need. Use Get Started across the website and we’ll guide you through the best route based on your chosen model and intended use.

Most deliveries do not need highways escorts.

Escorts or special permissions may be required if:

• the cabin exceeds transport width (usually not applicable)
• it travels through restricted roads

If needed, we’ll handle the arrangements or advise exactly what’s required.

It depends on your land:

• Clay or softer soils – ground screws or pads
• Hard/stony ground – concrete pads
• Sloped land – adjustable ground screws or piers

It is the responsibility of the customer to suitably prepare the foundations, depending on the model we may have suited options available during your site assessment.

We assist with planning and specifications for your groundworks, but most customers use a local contractor for:

• foundations
• trenches
• access improvements

We’ll provide the exact measurements they need.

Light rain is usually fine, but:

• high winds
• waterlogged foundations
• unsafe ground conditions may require rescheduling.

Your delivery team will assess safety and protect the cabin from unnecessary risk.

• steel or timber piers

We’ll advise exactly what your model needs.

Most installations take 1–2 days to position and level the cabin.

Additional days may be required for utility connection or off-grid system installation.

Yes, we may be able to deliver to remote, rural, or island sites.

A feasibility check and access assessment will confirm what’s possible.

Most deliveries need:

• 3–4m width
• 4m height clearance
• firm, stable ground

However, we can access much tighter areas using specialist vehicles or crane lifts.

A site access check is part of your pre-delivery process.

Delivery is carried out using:

• Towed vehicle (Canopy tiny homes)
• HIAB trucks (most common)
• Crane-assisted deliveries for tight or elevated sites, including larger container home projects

Your cabin may arrive fully constructed and can be positioned directly onto your prepared foundations. Container homes or modular pods often require building and preparation on-site.

Yes, we can install or connect systems we provide such as:

• solar & battery banks
• water systems
• waste solutions (septic/compost)

Where specialist work is needed, we may need to coordinate with trusted partners or your chosen local contractor.

Most cabins take 12 – 16 weeks from design sign-off to completion.

Delivery depends on:

• your location
• access conditions
• delivery vehicle availability

We’ll confirm your exact window once your production slot is secured.

Yes, we provide:

• floor plans

These documents are included once you progress through the Get Started process.

Yes, provided:

• the landowner gives written permission
• the cabin’s use complies with planning rules
• access and foundations are suitable

It’s important to confirm the legal status of the land before installation.

We can provide revised drawings or specifications, but appeals must be handled by:

• your local planning authority
• a planning consultant
• or the Planning Inspectorate (for formal appeals)

We’re happy to support with documents but cannot manage appeals on your behalf.

These areas often have stricter planning controls:

• limited development
• higher sustainability standards
• visibility and design restrictions

If your land is within one of these zones, speak with a planner before applying.

In some cases, councils allow temporary accommodation during a main build, but you must apply for temporary permission first.

Rules vary by council, so always check before placing the cabin.

Sure, as long as the landowner agrees, and planning rules are followed.

We recommend a written agreement covering:

• how long the cabin will remain
• who handles planning
• what happens if land ownership changes

You should consult your local council or land owner to confirm permission and whether temporary / mobile use.

We can review access, foundations, and general land suitability remotely.

For full surveys (soil tests, drainage, ecological reports), you’ll need a local professional. These are often required for planning applications.

Temporary/mobile siting

• cabin remains movable
• used seasonally or short-term
• may not need full planning

Permanent siting

• fixed foundations
• long-term residential use
• full planning required

Your intended use usually decides which applies

We provide site suitability guidance, foundation requirements, and system specifications.

For planning permission, drainage design, and land surveys, you’ll need a local specialist – we can point you in the right direction.

It depends on the model and how you plan to install it:

• Mobile homes – if they meet caravan regulations and remain movable
• Permanent dwellings – if installed on fixed foundations for long-term use

Your planning consultant or council will make the final determination.

We don’t offer full planning consultancy at this time, but we can:

• provide drawings and technical documents
• explain which category your cabin may fall under
• advise on common planning considerations

For detailed support or appeals, you should consult a professional planner – but do feel free to reach out with any questions, we’re here to help.

Applications are submitted through your local council’s planning portal.

You’ll need:

• location plan
• unit drawings
• proposed layout
• access details
• ecological/waste information (if relevant)

We can supply drawings and specifications needed for your application, but you should speak with a planning consultant for professional advice.

Most temporary or mobile homes fall under the Caravan Sites Act.

Key factors include:

• if the structure is moveable
• whether it’s used seasonally or full-time
• how long it stays on the land

Your council will advise how they classify your setup.

Possibly, you may be allowed if the cabin supports agricultural use (e.g., seasonal workers, storage, animal care).

Residential use almost always requires planning permission.

We may be able to help you understand which rules apply to your situation before you contact the council.

Sometimes, but not always.

Tiny homes that meet caravan regulations and remain movable can qualify as temporary structures, but your local council may still require permission depending on:

• length of stay
• intended use (residential vs leisure)
• land classification

Check with your local authority for confirmation.

It depends on the model and how you plan to use it:

• Permanent homes usually require planning permission.
• Movable cabins may fall under the Caravan Sites Act.
• Agricultural land has stricter rules for residential use, but does allow certain structures.

We can guide you on which category your cabin fits into before you speak to planning.

We can guide you on which category your cabin fits into before you speak to planning.

Yes, living off-grid is fully legal. The main considerations are:

• planning permission
• land-use classification
• whether the cabin is temporary/mobile or a permanent dwelling

We can explain the basics, but you should always check specifics with your local planning department.

There’s no legal minimum, but most off-grid cabins work well on 0.25–1 acre depending on:

• space for solar panels
• waste and water systems
• privacy and access

If you already have land, we can assess suitability during your enquiry. Planning rules depend more on use than land size, so always check with your local authority.

Yes, accessible layouts may be subject to specific needs.

We can consider:

• wider door frames

• Galaxy Collection – Steel container homes (strong, modern, long-term living).
• Polaris Collection – Premium modular pods (luxury stays, high-end finishes, flexible sizes).

Each collection serves a different lifestyle – browsing them is a great start before enquiring.

Both options exist:

• Mobile units can be relocated later using a HIAB or flatbed.
• Fixed foundations classify the home as permanent (planning-dependent).

If mobility is important, tell us early and we’ll guide you towards the right build type.

Our tiny homes range from compact single-unit layouts (20ft) to large multi-unit home setups (up to 80ft+ combined).
