No. We make all our pricing clear and easy to understand, offering an ‘all-inclusive price’ for the project which includes surveys, installation and fittings.

In most circumstances you will NOT require planning permission for a SunHaus which is designed to fall within the criteria for permitted development in most locations.
‍
If permission is required – and we can guide you on whether or not this is the case – due to location (e.g. roadside) or other restrictions such as you being in a conservation area, then we can provide all the drawing details required for your planning application.

Our buildings are designed to be permanent, durable structures made from cross laminated timber and designed in accordance with euro code zero to exceed 60 years lifespan with minimal upkeep.

Yes. We offer a full turn-key service, delivering a building that is ready to use within a day.

We install a fully engineered foundation solution appropriate for the ground conditions on site. Normally this consists of helical screw piles or concrete pads.

SunHaus comes with integrated solar cladding as standard providing attractive rainscreen weatherproofing as well as free clean renewable power.

The roof is designed to maximise light. It is made from EPDM over large format engineered timber.

SunHaus has an airtight thermally efficient building envelope and a ventilation system with heat recovery, so it doesn't take much heating. But when it needs heat it relies on a super efficient direct electric fan system.

We offer a 5-year warranty on the structure, a 1 year warranty on the fixtures and fittings and a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty on the roof covering. Other components do have extended warranties; details on these will be provided on request.

Tucked neatly away in the Mechanical & Electrical pod, SunHaus has a small efficient direct electric immersion heater.

The buildings are Net Zero carbon, whereby the solar panels generate more renewable energy than you will use.
The excess energy is either sent back to the grid or (if you take the Powerwall) stored in your battery.

Energy estimations – generation and usage

The buildings are Net Zero carbon, which deliver Net Zero running costs.
‍
As well as renewable energy from solar panels we also use LED lighting throughout our buildings as well as ‘AA’ rated air source heat pumps for heating. Our insulation ‘U’ values are very high and as they are fitted with integrated PV wall panels, we deliver an A+ rated building.

SunHaus buildings are developed with the environment in mind; by creating beautiful yet innovative designs.
‍
We pride ourselves in using the latest developments in technology as part of our build process to help reduce the impact on our fragile planet.
Our mission is to transform the speed, cost and environmental impact of all new buildings.

The materials we use in the construction of our buildings are integral to our sustainable and low carbon credentials.
The foundations have been designed to reduce impact by using a minimal amount of concrete.
The timber comes from sustainable forests.
‍
These forests are meeting the needs of the present without compromising the future generations.
Managers follow a land stewardship ethic which integrates the reforestation, growing, nurturing and harvesting of trees for useful products with the conservation of soil, air, and water quality, and wildlife and fish habitat.
