U-Build is a highly adaptable, pioneering system made from durable flat-pack timber panels. Providing a single solution for extensive construction purposes, our lightweight boxes can be assembled, stacked, bolted and configured endlessly to form a huge variety of structures. Demountable by nature, U-Build designs can be taken apart and given another useful life.  

To get you started, browse through our most popular designs across residential, commercial and community spheres. You can customise each design to suit your individual needs, or create your own design from scratch.

Whatever you choose, all of our builds incorporate high-quality natural materials from sustainable sources. We manufacture our plywood sheets in the UK using CNC machines, so that every piece fits together perfectly.
