Because of these techniques, Mikano can create stunning designs - some of which might not have been achievable solely through traditional building methods.
They also use on-trend materials, including steel, glass and cladding, which makes Mikano buildings look contemporary and innovative.
By using cutting-edge materials, Mikano extensions are energy efficient, sustainable and have a low carbon footprint.
The latest interior techniques and gadgets can also be integral to the design, from fitting solar panels to air conditioning.
There is also a large degree of certainty with Mikano builds, eliminating the unpredictability, escalating costs and overall hassle-factor associated with traditional building.
Mikano's "one stop shop" approach alleviates the need to spend days sourcing reliable builders as the whole design and build process is managed from start to finish.
Clients pay a flat fee for design (refundable when the project proceeds) and a quote is then provided on final designs.
And because Mikano uses a kit of parts, they can ensure costs are accurate and controllable.
A small team install the extension and add any finishing touches clients want, both internally and externally.
Paul Bird of Mikano said: "Quick and no hassle are not often words that homeowners associate with extending their home, but our new way of building offers just that".
"In a breakthrough from traditional domestic building methods, we offer a revolutionary new way for people to create stylish, architecturally exciting and individual living spaces, be it a home extension, roof top penthouse or even a garden room.
"Modular building methods have always been a cost-effective way to build large commercial developments but, until now, been considered not cost effective enough for the domestic market".
"But by developing new techniques and generating exceptional links with suppliers, we're able to bring modular building techniques to the domestic market".
So does the launch of Mikano sound the death knell for traditional build methods? Paul believes so".
"We design and build bespoke living spaces or people can buy an off-the-shelf Mikano extension that's a much more exciting solution than a PVC conservatory".
"Mikano has opened up a stylish and accessible new way to extend your living space and add value to your property".
Based in Manchester, Mikano services clients all over the UK.
Prices for a bespoke designed solution start from GBP1500 per sq.m.
