Anyone got any experience with WeberHaus Eco-Homes?
Discussion
Weber offer a similar system to Huff or Haslo i assume?
Looked into this type of system for doing an extension on our place which is going to be a standalone extension with a glazed link.
As such thought the "bolt on" nature of the extension would suit this system.
Spoke to a salesman of one of the above and he said it would work out pretty much the equivalent of the usual £1,000/m2 for a traditional build and that there system was flexible enough to "cope" with what i had in mind.
Maybe the £1,000/m2 figure is now lower given the current market or if you are a commercial buyer as opposed to someone doing it privately?
We haven't committed to doing the extension yet but what appealed to me with this system was it being a "one stop" shop with Haslo / whoever controlling the whole build from planning through to giving you the keys.
Barring the substructure everything is manufactured off site and given there familiarity with there own product i can only imagine the overall build quality is good compared to co-ordinating various trades on a traditional build.
The salesman stated that timewise there isn't a massive saving over building in the traditional format. I didn't really push him on this but i would have thought the biggest advantage of this type of system would be the speed with which the shell goes up / is made water tight resulting in an earlier start on the interior?

On Grand Designs, Huff put up an entire house in a week IIRC.sleep envy said:

my figures are saying 10%Be interested to know what your opinions are figures wise if you pursue it further if you don't mind?
Huf do the actual erection of the panels in a week, though the total build time with fitting out does take a good few weeks extra. The pair that went in opposite my folks ended up taking the best part of six months, from foundations being poured, though I think that they were pretty high spec. One of them is still on the market 2 years later.
