Best Startup
Vita Modular specialise in designing, manufacturing, and installing genuinely unique modular Garden Buildings, Extensions and Annexes with the utmost professionalism and care, providing the highest specification build at the most competitive, transparent pricing available in the market.
Tell us about yourself?
My Co-Founder and I have a combined 40 years of leadership experience in delivering luxury new build residential and commercial developments all over the country, and from our own experience we have recognised that there is an insatiable demand in the UK for additional home office, living and leisure space, and a complete lack of contemporary, customisable garden building solutions. So, we decided to launch Vita Modular!
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
To set the business up earlier!
What problem does your business solve?
Before Vita Modular, there was very little on offer for homeowners looking for more than a repurposed garden shed to fulfil their needs for extra living, leisure and homeworking space.
Our modular garden rooms are uniquely built with solid structural steel frames, made using non-combustible materials, and fire-rated to UK domestic standards.
Most UK insurers accept our garden buildings as an extension to homeowner policies, whereas your typical timber shed style garden room is difficult, if not impossible to insure due to the inherent fire risks – not to mention that they are simply not practical for use in colder months.
With a Vita Modular garden room, you not only have complete peace of mind that your garden room is built to last, but you also have a space that maintains a consistent temperature for comfortable all year round use.
What is your magic sauce?
We have very little competition. Most garden buildings that the market has to offer currently are timber style structures, and just not comparable.
Not only this, but our prices are for a comprehensive turn-key project solution that includes everything from foundations to flooring and everything in between.
What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
We’d like nothing more than to see every home in the UK with their own fully functional modular garden building, whether this is utilised as a home office or simply for additional living space to fulfil a hobby, or create a luxurious entertaining area.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
We haven’t had to change course. We are a relatively new company, with very encouraging early trading.
Like any business, there have been challenges related to lockdowns and restrictions, however this is also a climate in which our business is prospering.
The pandemic has inspired a lot of people to rethink the direction of their professional lives and given many the confidence to start up on their own, and run their businesses from home. Vita Modular garden rooms provide the perfect environment to do this!
How do people get involved/buy into your vision?
We would like to encourage anyone considering the addition of a bespoke, modular garden room to get in touch today. We would love to hear about your garden building requirements, and help you to create a space you will be proud of!
