Modern Prefabricated Living in Brighton
Adacon provides the P600 modular system, a steel-framed building solution designed for longevity and comfort. Unlike many providers, we do not sell converted shipping containers. Our buildings are purpose-built modules of approximately 13m² each, which can be used individually or connected to create larger, multi-room prefabricated homes. Each unit is delivered to your Brighton property with internal finishes including plastered walls, flooring, and electrical systems already in place.
Typical Configurations and Sizes
The versatility of the P600 system allows Brighton homeowners to design a layout that suits their specific site constraints, whether they are in the dense urban streets of the North Laine or the more spacious plots of Withdean and Patcham.
- Single Module (13m²): Ideal for high-end garden offices or a compact guest bedroom.
- Double Module (26m²): A popular choice for self-contained studio living, often configured with an open-plan living area and a partitioned shower room.
- Four+ Modules (52m²+): Used to create expansive multi-bedroom annexes or holiday lets, providing a footprint comparable to a traditional small bungalow.
Standard Specifications
Every Adacon module is built to a high standard to ensure it can withstand the coastal air and variable weather of the South Coast. The following features are included as standard:
- Fully insulated steel frame (walls, floor, and roof).
- Plastered and painted internal walls.
- Laminate flooring throughout.
- LED lighting and integrated power sockets.
- Double-glazed uPVC windows and external doors.
- Exterior cladding in a range of colours, which can be selected wall-by-wall via our configurator/p600.
We also offer optional extras to make your building move-in ready, including integrated kitchenettes, WC and shower compartments, air conditioning for climate control, and external decking to take advantage of Brighton's sunny intervals.
Indicative Pricing for Brighton Projects
Costs for a prefabricated home depend on the number of modules and the complexity of the internal fit-out. For residential-standard buildings in Brighton, prices typically range from £21,500 to £86,000. This range includes delivery to mainland UK locations, including Brighton and Hove. Please note that groundworks, final connection to utilities, and drainage are quoted separately as these costs depend entirely on your specific site conditions.
Delivery to Brighton and Sussex
Brighton presents unique logistical challenges, from the narrow terraced streets of Hanover to the steep hills of Woodingdean. Our modules are transported via the M23 and A23 trunk roads. Once at your location, they are typically positioned using a crane. For properties with restricted access or narrow lanes, we conduct a site assessment to determine the most viable delivery method. A level, prepared base must be ready before the modules arrive to ensure a smooth installation process.
Local Authority and Planning
When installing a prefabricated home in Brighton, you must consider local planning requirements. Rules regarding garden buildings and residential annexes vary depending on whether your property is in a conservation area or a site of outstanding natural beauty. We recommend all customers contact the Brighton & Hove City Council planning department, or the relevant authority for their specific area, to confirm whether Planning Permission or Building Regulations approval is required for their project.
Lead Times and Ordering
Our lead times are measured in weeks rather than the months typically associated with traditional construction. Because the majority of the work is completed in our production facility, onsite time is kept to an absolute minimum. To get a specific timeline and a formal document for your project, you can request a quote online. We also occasionally hold 'Ready to Order' stock units for even faster delivery to the Brighton area.
