Prefabricated cabins, often referred to as prefab cabins, offer an efficient and high-quality way to create beautiful spaces in a wide variety of settings.
Whether positioned in a private garden, overlooking a dramatic landscape or nestled within a hospitality retreat, off-site construction allows cabins to be manufactured with exceptional precision before being carefully delivered and installed in their final location.
At Life Space Cabins, the majority of our cabins are handcrafted in our South Devon workshop before being transported to site, helping to reduce installation time while maintaining the quality and detailing we’re known for.
What is a prefabricated cabin?
A prefabricated cabin is a building that is manufactured wholly or partly within a workshop before being transported to its final location for installation. Depending on the project, it may be delivered as a complete building or in a number of prefabricated sections, resulting in a high-quality, turnkey solution with minimal on-site construction.
One of the greatest advantages of prefabrication is its flexibility. From compact garden cabins to multiple holiday rental units delivered and installed within a matter of days, off-site construction allows projects to be completed efficiently without compromising on design, craftsmanship or quality.
Prefabricated Cabins
At Life Space Cabins, we believe the best place to build a cabin is in the controlled environment of our workshop.
Prefabricated, or off-site, construction allows us to manufacture each cabin with exceptional levels of precision, quality and efficiency before it ever reaches your site. Our skilled carpenters work alongside our in-house design studio, ensuring every detail is carefully considered and every stage of the build is continually reviewed.
Wherever possible, we deliver our cabins to site as near-complete buildings. This significantly reduces the amount of construction required on site, minimising disruption and ensuring a faster, more predictable installation. Depending on the project, cabins may be delivered as a single unit or in a number of prefabricated sections before being carefully assembled in their final location.
Every site presents its own challenges, from narrow country lanes and mature trees to restricted access and steep gradients. That’s why we develop a delivery strategy for every project, selecting the most appropriate combination of specialist transport, Hiab vehicles, cranes or modular construction techniques. We haven’t needed a helicopter… yet!
One of the greatest advantages of prefabrication is the speed of installation. While traditional construction can take many months on site, a prefabricated cabin can often be installed and made weatherproof in just a matter of days, allowing landscaping and finishing works to commence much sooner.
For more challenging locations, we can also manufacture cabins in smaller prefabricated sections. Although this requires a little more assembly on site, it allows us to reach locations that would otherwise be inaccessible, ensuring the design is never compromised by the journey.
