What Live Off Grid states on its site

According to its website, all homes are designed by Live Off Grid and built by other makers across the UK, Europe and Asia, depending on the model range. The tiny houses page names the Canopy collection, tiny homes on wheels or small foundations (Alder, Aspen, Birch, Cedar, Hazel, Magnolia, Oak, Olive and Willow), the Galaxy collection of steel container homes (Mars at 20ft, Jupiter, Mercury and Pluto at 40ft, and Saturn at 2 x 40ft), and the Polaris modular pods (Capella, Sirius and Vega).

The same page says the tiny homes range from compact single-unit layouts of 20ft to multi-unit setups of up to 80ft+ combined, that mobile units are built to caravan or mobile home regulations, and that the majority of its cabins and homes are delivered turnkey. Its FAQ says movable or temporary units comply with the Caravan Sites Act, and its contact page mentions offers from private cabins to multi-unit developments.
