In most cases planning permission will not be required for your MALA construction. It is most likely that your building or deck will fall under permitted development guidelines.

Our foundations are etremely strong and robust! In fact, your MALA Structure will be built on rock-solid foundations.

The good news is that our composite cladding requires zero maintenance, just sit back and watch it improve with age.

Initially we will ask you to send us a video of your property, garden and access points that are relevant to the structure being built. We will then be able to make an assessment of the area where the structure will be built, whether that’s a garden room, garden office, extension, granny annexe, leisure pod or lodge. We will decide where the foundations are to be built and where the electrics will go (and water and sewerage if required). We want to ensure your build process runs trouble free. Therefore, after watching your video, we may contact you and arrange a site visit if we feel this is necessary to complete a thorough assessment.

A Mala building is fitted with our standard electrical pack. This comprises of interior recessed energy efficient and dimmable interior ceiling spot lights and double electrical and USB sockets to each corner of the room. The exterior of a Mala building has recessed pelmet lights and ‘welcome’ up and down lighters, situated at either side of the doors.

The standard electrical pack can be upgraded to include colour changeable mood lighting both for the interior and exterior, and lighting that is controllable from your phone. Your external light fittings also come in a range of coloured fittings, standard stainless and optional black and rose gold.

Your Mala building is fully wired to create whatever mood lighting you want!
