Clever Homes are architects and planners, who specialise in the construction of affordable, prefabricated buildings. From design, to engineering, permits and construction, they can help buyers with every step of the self-build process, to ensure a smooth journey and flawless finish.

This property, in Palo Alto, California, highlights the company's skills for creating beautiful and bespoke homes that can be made in no time at all. 

The modern home extends 2,300 square feet (214sqm) and features two floors. There's a light-filled entrance hall, a contemporary kitchen and an open-plan living area, with a dining zone and lounge.

Sliding glass doors connect the ground floor to the backyard, allowing for an easy indoor-outdoor flow that's perfect for making the most of California's climate.

Upstairs you'll find four bedrooms and three bathrooms, all finished to the highest standards. Every Clever Homes property is certifiable as green, with accreditations from the likes of USGBC and LEEDenvironment. This means the indoor air quality is high but your energy bills won't be!

Plus, their use of prefabrication and building in factories is the most resource-efficient and sustainable form of wood-frame construction, meaning their process results in less waste.

Clever Homes don't offer a catalogue of designs. Instead, they individually design projects using templates and systems they have developed over the years. Buyers can amend their home to suit their plot, lifestyle and budget. They also offer four types of prefabrication, modular construction, panelised buildings, steel frame and timber frame.

Finally, you can select all of your finishes to suit your individual style. On average, Clever Homes come in at around £395 ($500) to £474 ($600) per square foot, so they are also incredibly reasonable.

Honka has been crafting log cabins since 1958 but they are far from old-fashioned. Combining the ecological benefits of timber construction with the beauty of contemporary architecture, this Finnish company knows how to make durable, wow-factor residences that can be built in a matter of days.

Part of the company's log villa collection, Lux 208 2A is a sleek Scandinavian property that covers a single storey and comes in six sizes, to suit all styles and budgets.

The smallest model spans 1,560 square feet (145sqm), while the largest offers almost 2,500 square feet (232sqm) of living space. Buyers can pick between an I-, L- or U-shaped configuration. 

The flat-pack property can also be customised to suit the interior design needs of each buyer and there are three interior styles to choose from: Modern Wood, Boho and Industrial. Everything from the internal materials to the furniture can be hand-picked, too, allowing you to create a home that truly meets your needs. 

No matter which size or style you pick, your log villa will come with a stunning open-plan lounge, a dining zone and a modern kitchen, as well as numerous bathrooms and three bedrooms. You can also add on a luxurious sauna.

Of course, the biggest draw about Honka is the speed of construction. Their kits generally take between six and 10 weeks to be made and delivered, before being slotted together by the company's expert assembly team.

This pre-fabricated mansion can be found in Pacific Palisades, an affluent residential neighbourhood in Los Angeles, California. It was designed by iconic architect Ray Kappe, who was celebrated for his modern vision, clever construction techniques and environmental sensitivity.

Kappe was responsible for producing some of the world’s most incredible kit homes and teamed up with sustainable building firm, Plant Prefab, to be their first design partner. Together, they creates this gorgeous, custom-made family retreat.

Measuring 5,400 square feet (502sqm), the ultra-modern home is formed from 10 individual Plant modules, which are essentially blocks the size of shipping containers, that can be slotted together in various configurations.

Fabricated in a controlled factory setting, each module is expertly made and designed to withstand earthquakes, extreme weather conditions and even wildfires.

Built with speed in mind, each Plant Prefab home is delivered on-site 90% complete and can be put together in a single day. From design to delivery, the company promises a two-week turnaround time, which means you could have a brand-new home by the end of next month! 

This particular home by the company has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and stunning open-plan living spaces that are flooded with natural light. Designed to make to most of Santa Monica’s enviable scenery, the hillside home features walls of glass that frame lovely views.

As for rooms, there’s a lounge, a chef’s kitchen, a dining room, a family room and a home theatre. Luxurious extras include the home’s wine wall cabinet and integrated Sonos home automation. Even the garden is envy-inducing. It comes complete with sunbathing decks and a sunken pool.

With a LEED Platinum Rating, every Plant Prefab home is considered to be highly durable and promotes excellence in construction, performance and quality. There is no starting price for Plant Prefab homes, since they can be totally customised to meet buyers' needs. But the company can provide a detailed estimate of your total project costs in advance.

Located in the heart of the Suffolk countryside in England, this modern oak frame home by Oakwrights is spacious, impressive and stunning in equal measure.

The homeowners envisioned building a contemporary Scandinavian-style home, but the question was: could they achieve their dream of incorporating a traditional green oak frame into the design? Quite clearly, the answer is yes!

With a clear idea of the home they wanted to live in, the owners began designing its initial layout, using Microsoft Word. After this, they reached out to Oakwright to transform their vision into detailed drawings for their planning permission application.

The exterior combines white linear bricks and natural British cedar cladding, installed vertically with a small shadow gap for a more contemporary, Scandinavian look. As for the interior, the rooms are bright and cosy, while capturing a tranquil, Scandi vibe, thanks to exposed oak timber bams, neutral furnishings and an array of textures.

As for rooms, the 2,734-square-foot (254sqm) home has an open-plan living area with a lounge, dining space and kitchen, as well as three lovely bedrooms decorated with exposed beams. Keen to minimise their environmental impact during the build, the couple opted for natural materials, such as untreated British cedar, a GreenCoat metal roof and bricks made from natural materials from a supplier who uses 100% renewable electricity.

The home also has an air source heat pump, Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system, solar panels and rainwater harvesting. Plus, Oakwrights’ encapsulation panels are incredibly insulating, so we have very little heat loss even with all the glazing.

So, how could such a stunning home be created in a factory? Well, Oakwrights handmakes all of the oak beams that go into each of their homes. They are crafted by expert carpenters in their Herefordshire workshop and, once made, can be installed on site in a matter of days. 

The company offers turnkey packages, so will assist with everything from design and planning to project management. Or, buyers can choose a frame design option and let the Oakwrights designers customise a home to suit your needs, using the latest software programs.

Welsh Oak Frame is an award-winning company based in Powys, Wales, but they design and build stunning bespoke oak frame homes across the UK. This particualrly property is one of their finest and can be found in Essex, England. 

After buying land for equestrian use some years ago, builder Anthony Goodey decided to seek permission to develop the site and build several new houses. The aim was to create a traditional farmyard scene, so the properties needed to vary in size and appearance to look authentic.

As well as the traditional farmhouse and a pair of farmers’ cottages, Anthony was given permission to build two barn-style homes, which he felt should be in oak frame. Anthony sourced photos of barns in Essex and Suffolk to make sure they were the right shape and proportion, with a double height interior and a mezzanine floor that historically would have been used for storing spare parts and tools.

Anthony hired an architect to bring the homes to life and then employed Welsh Oak Frame to curate the buildings in their Welsh workshop. This one-and-a-half storey barn home is one of the finished buildings.

Externally, the home features traditional clay roof tiles from France and featheredge oak weatherboarding. The barn is wrapped in structural insulated panels (SIPs), which are incredibly eco-friendly, while Celotex insulation is used above and below the attic trusses for a warm and airtight finish. Exposed oak beams give the barn-style home a rustic, authentic finish. 

The property features a modern, open-plan layout with a soaring ceiling downstairs. There’s a lounge, dining area and kitchen, while the lofted level provides space for a master bedroom and ensuite bathroom. 

Welsh Oak Frame enabled buyers to pick a pre-designed model and customise it, or create their own home design that they can then bring to life. Their oak frame packages start from just £137,500 ($174k), but a house of this size would cost around £475,000 ($602k) to build.
