The usual UK building regulations don’t apply to park homes, but we can easily upgrade any of our designs to comply with the building regulations for permanent habitation in places other than mobile home parks, which usually just means thicker insulation.

It’s very important that building regulations and planning laws are followed for your own peace of mind.
