Custom living with natural integrity

What we do
We enable you to create a quality home that you love, which has a positive impact on the environment and your health, while providing opportunities for learning and acquiring new skills.
How we do it
We make things as simple as possible by doing the hard work for you, giving you the opportunity to get involved in the fun stuff. You can choose how involved you would like to be; whether it’s planning, design or even getting your hands dirty on the build with us.
Why we do it
We want to change the way houses are built and perform, so that they are healthier and have a lighter footprint on the earth. We want people and communities to be involved in the process and to provide more affordable routes to high quality places to live.
Good for people : Good for the planet.
Who we are
A Bristol-based socially oriented organisation, supplying modular homes built using modern methods of construction, aimed at minimising their environmental impact. Our background embraces people led development creating community focussed, sustainable housing projects.
What people are saying…
“A lot of house with a lot of thought for the long term delivery”

“This is a journey for me in some of the more practical aspects of self building. After taking the theory away, I want to discover how it can translate into reality. The SNUG project is very helpful for helping me learn new techniques in building.”
Mark Andrews (build volunteer)
“I’m hoping to build with my partner our own house in the future, and the only way that’ll be possible is with the support of a community-led scheme and doing the majority of the work ourselves. Volunteering at the SNUG project has been an ideal introduction to the field. As well as meeting lots of great people we’re learning useful, practical skills that will help us with our own build. Working together is the future!"
Tony Gilbert (build volunteer)
“...the fact that they are taking a broad interpretation of sustainability goals, prefab and self-build goals to create a pleasant environment is fantastic.”
