Our company
We are a rapidly growing business focused on driving low-carbon houses across the South Coast with our structurally insulated panel system. Environmental sustainability is integral to everything we do at Ecologic. With that in mind, we care about our supply chains and keep them as short as possible, work closely with clients to find the most eco-friendly, resourceful, and energy-efficient solutions and we always endeavor to minimise our impact on the planet. With a proven track record in crafting modular, high-end luxury beach lodges, we now specialise in the manufacture and installation of SIPs (structural insulated panels), producing resilient building solutions with long-lasting environmental and lifestyle benefits.
Every SIP that we design is made in-house at our New Forest workshop in Dorset. We’re experienced problem-solvers, so we relish the challenge of installing SIPs structures in unusual, tricky, or remote site locations. Our efforts were recently recognized, becoming winners of the ‘Best SIPs Home 2023’ at the recent Build It Magazine Awards. Come and get involved and help us drive more sustainable building solutions.
