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 o
f 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.
