One home. One coordinated process.

A simpler way
to build.

Building your own home should be exciting. The reality can quickly become complicated—architects, engineers, approvals, contractors, suppliers, budgets and dozens of decisions that must come together at the right time.

Microhomes was created to make that process simpler. You choose the home and the place. We help take care of the complicated bit.

Designed as a complete system, not a collection of disconnected parts.

  • Windows, doors, roofing and cladding
  • Electrical and plumbing systems
  • Underfloor heating

Own land — or still looking?

The one thing we can’t standardise is your land.

Before you spend anything, we’ll tell you whether we think a Microhome could realistically obtain planning permission. Upload the location and a few details and we’ll carry out an initial appraisal free of charge.

If you are comparing several plots, The Planning Playbook helps you assess 99 planning and practical factors yourself.

One home. One coordinated process.

A simpler way
to build.

Building your own home should be exciting. The reality can quickly become complicated—architects, engineers, approvals, contractors, suppliers, budgets and dozens of decisions that must come together at the right time.

Microhomes was created to make that process simpler. You choose the home and the place. We help take care of the complicated bit.

Designed as a complete system, not a collection of disconnected parts.

  • Heating design
  • Timber frame and building materials
  • Windows, doors, roofing and cladding
  • Electrical and plumbing systems
  • Underfloor heating
  • Kitchen, bathroom and internal finishes

Own land — or still looking?

The one thing we can’t standardise is your land.

Before you spend anything, we’ll tell you whether we think a Microhome could realistically obtain planning permission. Upload the location and a few details and we’ll carry out an initial appraisal free of charge.

If you are comparing several plots, The Planning Playbook helps you assess 99 planning and practical factors yourself.
