George from Suffolk asks:
QUESTION: I notice that costs don't include foundations. What type of foundations does the system require? Is this something you offer or would I have to contract a local builder?
ANSWER: The system requires minimal foundations. The modules are steel, rigid and robust, they need to be level. We have a pre-cast modular plinth foundation which works for most ground conditions. We would need to see your site conditions. I suggest that we would manage the site work with our own people. Always bearing in mind cost.
QUESTION: I am assuming I don't need planning permission because I am looking to extend at the side of the house (albeit close to the front) and I am not in a conservation zone. As such, how long would it take to turn around the project?
ANSWER: Please see planning advice attached http://www.planningportal.gov from our local planning authority which should help. I don't think you do need planning permission. Please allow 16 weeks from signed order to delivery, though we may be able to deliver sooner.
QUESTION: I think this is a fantastic idea. Can I ask though if you would need planning permission? Can they also be custom built to specification?
ANSWER: Yes they will usually need planning permission unless used as a house extension, granny annexe that sort of use. Good idea to check with your planners first. They are designed to be built to your specification. Please send us your sketch layout.

Andy asks:
QUESTION: Could you build a prefab extension to sit on top of a conventional (brick) ground floor(with flat roof) extension ? Footings have been tested, and capable of taking a second floor. Dimensions are 4m 30cm X 6m, split into 3 rooms. If so, what would the rough price be ?
ANSWER: Yes we could build a prefab extension, however, each module must be transportable by road so we would need to consider best way of building this. 4m is close to the maximum width allowed on roads without an escort. I will ring to discuss prices.
