the fi rm establish a large client base across the UK. T e success of the core business has driven the team to look at new
and service range expanded
Harnessing the experience that comes from more than a decade of leading the way in modular buildings and modern methods of construction (MMC), T e Qube has expanded its product and service off ering to cater to a wider audience. The Qube, which has its headquarters in
Northampton, specialises in creating bespoke modular buildings. Important factors such as ease of assembly and reduced time and disruption on site, as well as sustainability and longevity has seen
16
avenues for expansion, with off -site construction still at the forefront of its thinking.
Tiny but perfectly formed T e Qube has teamed up with Australian fi rm - Designer Eco Tiny Homes, Australia - to bring alternative living solutions to the UK. Tiny Homes off er chassis-built homes that can be easily situated
on any suitable plot of land. T e range starts at Tiny B&B, which is 4.8 metres long, up to the more luxurious Lifestyle Series 7000 which is seven metres long and incorporates a mezzanine large enough for a king size bed as well as a living area, bathroom and kitchen. T e homes are ideal as a permanent residence, or as a holiday home/staycation retreat. While planning regulations in the UK are likely to restrict the homes
to holidays and short stays, in other countries, small communities of Tiny Homes are becoming increasingly popular. Jordan Spittle, Associate Director at T e Qube, said: “T ese structures
can certainly be lived in and would solve a lot of housing issues in this country. We have a housing shortage and are simply not building new houses quickly enough. And when we talk about aff ordable homes, those that are being built are really not all that aff ordable, especially when compared to other ‘aff ordable schemes’ across the world.
