The Adacon P300/P400/P600 modular range in Edinburgh
Homeowners in Edinburgh face unique challenges when adding space to their properties. From the dense stone terraces of the New Town to the exposed coastal plots in Portobello, the demand for high-performance, weather-resilient structures is high. Adacon supplies the P300/P400/P600 modular range: a precision-engineered modular building that arrives on a flatbed vehicle, ready for final connection.
Our buildings are not "summer houses." They are steel-framed structures with high-density insulation, double-glazed uPVC windows, and professional internal finishes. This makes them ideal for the Scottish climate, maintaining thermal efficiency throughout the winter months. You can explore the full range of applications for these buildings at our garden rooms page.
Configurations and Layouts
The P300/P400/P600 modular range is based on modules of approximately 13 m². Because these units can be joined side-by-side or stacked, they suit various Edinburgh garden sizes:
- Single Module (13 m²): Perfect for a spacious garden office or a compact craft studio. It fits comfortably in typical suburban gardens in areas like Liberton or Juniper Green.
- Double Module (26 m²): A popular choice for home gyms or secondary lounges. The two units are joined on-site to create a large open-plan space.
- Four+ Modules (52 m²+): Suitable for larger plots or rural sites on the outskirts of the city, these can be configured into L-shapes or two-storey blocks with internal staircases.
What is Included as Standard
We believe in transparency, which is why every Adacon module comes with a comprehensive standard specification. When your building arrives in Edinburgh, it includes:
- Fully insulated floor, walls, and roof for year-round use.
- Plastered and painted internal walls (no unfinished timber).
- Laminate flooring and integrated LED lighting.
- Electrical sockets and a pre-installed consumer unit.
- Double-glazed uPVC external doors and windows.
- Exterior cladding available in a variety of colours to suit your garden's aesthetic.
Optional extras include air conditioning for climate control, internal partitions for WCs or kitchenettes, and external decking to integrate the building into your landscape.
Indicative Pricing for Edinburgh
While every project is unique, most residential garden room projects in the Edinburgh area fall within a price band of £15,000 to £35,000. This range typically covers single to double-module builds with standard internal finishes. Factors affecting the final cost include the number of modules, the complexity of the glazing configuration, and optional plumbing or cooling systems.

Delivery and Access in the Lothians
Delivery to mainland UK, including all EH postcode areas, is included in our quoted prices. Our modules are manufactured in our specialist facility and transported via the main arterial routes—typically the A1 or M74/A702 corridors—before reaching Edinburgh.
Access is a critical consideration in the capital. While many modern developments in areas like South Gyle have wide access, older parts of the city with narrow stone-walled lanes or terraced streets may require specialised logistics. The modules are usually craned from the delivery vehicle directly onto your prepared base. If your property has restricted access, such as a narrow driveway or overhead power lines, we recommend discussing this early in the process so we can assess crane reach and local traffic requirements.
Groundworks and Connections
Adacon provides the finished building, but the site preparation is the customer's responsibility. You will need a level, structural base (such as a concrete slab or reinforced plinth system). Once the building is positioned, a qualified local electrician will need to connect the unit to your home’s main supply. If you have opted for a WC or kitchenette, a local plumber will be required to connect the internal pipework to your mains water and drainage. We recommend consulting with Edinburgh-based contractors who are familiar with local ground conditions, particularly in areas with high clay content or historic infill.
Planning and Regulations
Rules regarding planning permission and building warrants vary significantly depending on the size of the building, its intended use, and whether your property is in one of Edinburgh's many Conservation Areas or involves a listed building. We always advise customers to check with the City of Edinburgh Council planning department or a local planning consultant before proceeding. While many smaller garden rooms fall under "permitted development," this is never guaranteed and is site-specific.
Why Choose Adacon?
We offer a faster, cleaner alternative to traditional construction. Because the P600 is manufactured off-site, lead times are measured in weeks rather than months. Once delivered, the building is often ready to use within a day or two, avoiding the weeks of builders, skips, and noise in your garden. For those requiring a rapid solution, we often have "Ready to Order" stock units available for even faster dispatch.
