The P600 Modular System for Reading Homeowners
We supply the P600 modular building system, a robust and thermally efficient solution for residential use. Each module provides approximately 13 m² of floor space, and because the system is modular, units can be joined side-by-side or stacked two storeys high to create larger prefabricated homes. Unlike many timber-framed alternatives, our buildings feature a structural steel frame, ensuring longevity and a solid feel underfoot.
Every building is produced in our dedicated facility and delivered to Reading in a near-finished state. This means the internal walls are already plastered and painted, the laminate flooring is laid, and the LED lighting and electrical sockets are pre-installed. For homeowners in busy residential areas like Earley or Woodley, this significantly reduces the time contractors need to spend on your property, limiting noise and mess compared to a traditional build.
Configurations and Suitability
The versatility of the P600 system allows it to adapt to various site types found across Reading. Depending on your land and requirements, we typically supply modules in the following formats:
- Single Module (13 m²): Ideal for those looking for garden offices or self-contained hobby rooms. These fit comfortably into most suburban gardens in areas like Southcote.
- Two-Module Link (26 m²): A popular choice for a spacious studio apartment or a large garden room with a partition for a WC or kitchenette.
- Four+ Modules (52 m² and above): Suitable for multi-bedroom annexes or secondary dwellings. These can be configured in L-shapes or rectangular blocks to suit the specific dimensions of your plot.
What is Included as Standard
When you purchase an Adacon building, the core structure is ready for immediate use upon connection to utilities. Our standard specification includes:
- Fully insulated walls, floor, and roof for year-round thermal comfort.
- Plastered and painted internal walls and ceilings.
- High-quality laminate flooring.
- Double-glazed uPVC windows and external doors.
- A complete electrical package including LED ceiling lights and sockets.
- External cladding in a variety of colours, which can be selected wall-by-wall to suit your garden's aesthetic.
Optional extras are available to make the space fully habitable, including internal WC and shower compartments, kitchenettes, and air conditioning units for climate control.
Indicative Pricing for Reading Projects

- Single-module builds: From £21,500.
- Mid-sized multi-module builds: £43,000 – £65,000.

Delivery to Reading and Berkshire
Reading’s position on the M4 corridor makes it highly accessible for our logistics teams, typically arriving via the A33 or A329(M). However, we recognise that Reading presents unique access challenges. From the narrow terraced streets of Newtown to the more restricted rural lanes in the surrounding Berkshire countryside, site access is a critical consideration.
If your property cannot be reached by a standard Hiab delivery vehicle, we can coordinate crane lifts to hoist modules over existing structures. It is essential that the customer provides a level, prepared base (such as a concrete slab or plinths) before delivery. While we include delivery to the UK mainland in our price, groundworks and drainage are quoted separately as they are highly dependent on your specific site conditions in Reading.
Local Authority Considerations
When installing a prefabricated home in Reading, you must consider planning permission and building regulations. Rules vary significantly depending on whether the building is classified as an outbuilding under permitted development or a primary residence. We recommend contacting Reading Borough Council or West Berkshire Council planners early in your project. Professional advice should be sought to ensure your building complies with all local requirements regarding drainage and permanent habitation.
Why Choose Adacon?
Homeowners choose Adacon because of our speed and predictability. While a traditional extension might take months of on-site work, our lead times are typically measured in weeks. Because our modules are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, we avoid the weather delays common to UK construction. You receive a fixed-price quote via our online request system, giving you financial certainty before the project begins.
