25 years ago my brother had a modular home built. The issue with the delivery was the terrain. Because the ground in their plot was corrugated fill had to be brought in to level the road a bit. The existing driveway had to be straightened out a bit. If that had not worked they would have had to get a helicopter to lift the house onto the foundation.

[@nemo227]

Proper planning is essential. It saves a lot of time and money. However, many people don't know how to plan. Sometimes, even professionals screw up.

[@nosuchthingasshould4175]

Funny thing is, in a few years a heavy lift drone may be the standard and perhaps cheapest option for this sort of thing.

[@adamstevens6299]

Love this!

[@OffGridInvestor]

This is essentially the kind of thing I'm highly likely to get. The biggest is 7 bedrooms with a HUGE dining area and is bought in on 5 lorries. I might as well go for the biggest one. But it'll easily be thev3 bedroom with giant lounge room.

[@briandavies7515]

It's a great way to build with no headachs ❤️

[@hughmarcus1]

It’s how a lot of social housing is now being built & it’s easy to see why.

[@douglasreid699]

It has headaches, usually the guys on the workshop floor building the thing need to go moan at the designer as the timber supplied doesnt always meet what was ordered and a solution needs to be found. Thats what i found at my previous timber frame factory.

[@black8art]

@@hughmarcus1 ......and yet, the government still cannot get more than a few thousand homes built in TEN YEARS!

[@paulferguson1792]

Back in the late 1980s i worked on Rodger Daltri's estate . He had built there took three days to put up . I think it was a scanda house .

[@Damadchef]

So £370k is affordable housing now 😅

[@Kiwionwing]

Wow

[@Erinxxxxxx]

It is for a house that big, modern and luxurious

[@Rustycarr59]

Delivered in 24 hrs! But that day was 12 months or more in the future! We fell for that piece of marketing from a builder

[@pavlinalamprianou8262]

Wooooo is brilliant beautiful 😍

[@hadrianbird2645]

Love it

[@peterrat100]

Fabulous. I’ve wondered for years why we insist on having houses built from thousands of small bricks!

[@onelove6971]

Because bricks 🧱 build excellent homes 🏡

[@alihunter5246]

What is name of the company that sells these modular homes please?

[@kenmontgomery3136]

Lego

[@GOODGAMESINWORD]

where can I find the company website?

[@mcdougal0]

THE WAY TO BUILD.

[@lamdao1242]

A year ago I renovated my very large kitchen with ikea cabinetry . It cost me USD7000 Seriously for the cost, the speed and convenience i am 98% satisfied. No saggy kitchen cabinets. Inserts that fit. Moving parts are Blum(sp?). 10 year warranty. As I told my family - at USD7k we could use it for 10 years then rip it out and replace with a new one. Same concept. Build it in a factory then install. If I ever build a house I would do what this couple did.

[@adnanlatif1722]

Excellent which company build the house ?

[@OffGridInvestor]

There's quite a few at least here in Australia. The place I'm considering has a single floor 7 bedroom option with an enormous dining room like you could EASILY fit 2 cars, maybe 3 in it.

[@tacfoley4443]

How much?

[@1237rc]

Does anyone know the name of the company that produced the modular house?

[@leewarder7523]

Done a little Google on this and I think the company could be Boutique modern. I think it also says something on the T shirt of the factory worker too👍.

[@stephenwilliams1824]

A house is an investment normally for the long term. For the next generation and so on. What is the lifespan of such steel & wooden structures compared to bricks & mortar in our cold and damp environments.

[@markdowning6773]

Yes your right , he always seems very keen on these timber houses but of course the cladding will need changing in 25 years or so because it will be rotten, and there's always a danger of wet and dry rot . A brick built house can last for centuries!

[@consultancy6434]

Brick is a proven material, we know for sure its performance. One needs proof of the durability of the selected exterior cladding.

[@phoenix-xu9xj]

Does anyone know which company made this house please?

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

I’d love to know as well…

[@matthewhigham188]

Boutique Modern

[@janniecarter]

In the full episode he meets with someone who wrote a report for government about off site construction / MMC - what is the title of that report?

[@Iancad1]

It could have been "Modernise Or Die" by Mark Farmer. The most ill-informed twaddle promoting the stupidity of offsite construction. Most of the modular firms promoted -and financed - by Esther McVey have gone under.

[@ultimateactiontv8645]

Who’s the builder of this home please

[@BillyGooding]

Give it 15 to 20 years and that flat roof will be leaking like a sieve.

[@JohnnyNorfolk]

I am not a fan of a flat roof.

[@davidw9772]

Steel frame prefab homes feature skylights large windows solar panel walls rooftop deck shall save the world

[@stewarty28]

Do you need planning permission for a modular home?

[@tacfoley4443]

Of course, this IS UK.

[@MSirajRiaz]

How much does this cost ? 100k?

[@tayibahussain]

£375,000 thats how much they say they have paid

[@Manchester786]

Cost them 10k for matériels

[@Dubjaxfilms]

"Affordable" ?

[@backacheache]

In the context of "grand designs"

[@Dubjaxfilms]

@@backacheache I see, so, not in the context of most of grand designs viewers

[@paulrumbold2436]

As a carpenter & joiner of 40 years this guy is an absolute bell end ? All day everyday . Affordable my arse ? . Alright for him with his millions stashed away ?

[@JohnnyNorfolk]

Not my cup of tea, I prefere brick or stone, but good luck to them.

[@velvetindigonight]

Ha ha Kevin but none of them on a Barrett/Taylor Wimpey etc., housing estate alas.. 'Standard building' has been lagging behind innovation for twenty years plus............ Remember Blair and Prescott's £60,000 Ecco House Competition there was a winner but it was never rolled out across the country...... cynical 'green wash' alas.......

[@utube271258]

My HA have used a company that make modular homes, about 6 years ago as I was on the tenants engagement team they took me to the factory and I saw the whole process and visited one of the homes on site, as it was a trial so I don't know how many they have now and how they're doing as I'm not on the team anymore. Once foundations where down the took about 1 to 2 weeks to be ready for tenants. Makes a lot of sense no delays in the build due to bad weather, less disturance to other local residents etc. I was impressed but we wait to see what the lifespan is for these new homes.

[@lauriechilds6819]

There is NO WAY this building is CHEAP.....this show has lost the plot

[@stephen2203]

For a custom designed house ... how much would you consider cheap?

[@TranscendentalDentist]

Glorified shed. 😂

[@Hamishmcbeth]

Looks horrendous. If they couldn’t find a builder to do that for 370k then they didnt look for very long.

[@Eidolonian]

I like the look but it’s damned pricey :/

[@Vic-pk6qn]

Horrible
