Established in 2002, MAKAR Ltd has delivered over 250 of the UK’s most innovative net-zero, ecological homes using locally sourced, natural materials together with advanced off-site manufacturing. MAKAR is unique in offering:
Zero carbon housing
Whilst still considered aspirational for many and including at government level, it is standard specification for both the construction and operation of our homes. An integrated approach
With all the required services and expertise under one roof, we are able to offer a complete service from early design ideas and sketches, through to the full turnkey delivery. We have a close working relationship with north of Scotland-based contractors who provide heating and ventilation services, kitchen and bathroom design and fit-out. Their work is coordinated by our in-house project managers. The result of this integrated approach is a customer-focused business that provides certainty over design, quality, workmanship, programme and costs. Off-site manufacturing
Widely recognised as the future for the provision of high quality, low waste construction, we manufacture all panels in our purpose-built workshop in Inverness. Whilst your home is being manufactured off-site and carefully inspected for quality in the workshop, our groundwork team are on site installing the foundations and service infrastructure. Your home is assembled by our team as a series of panels and modules, meaning that it is wind and watertight within a matter of days. A dedicated project manager then coordinates all of the fit-out and finishes required to bring the house to completion and handover. Healthy homes
All our homes are manufactured using natural materials. The walls are classed as a breathing construction using Scottish grown larch cladding, wood fibre insulation on a 250mm frame filled with cellulose insulation. This creates a healthy environment, reducing internal humidity which in turn reduces the incidence of dust mites that can cause allergies and also trigger asthma. All our timber is untreated and sourced locally.
