Manufacturing and Assembly
Our Process
At Nature Spaces we create high quality, sustainable buildings which are designed and manufactured in Scotland using the local supply chain and circular economy principles​.
​
To help us design more accurately and help our clients visualise the end product we use virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
We are proud of that fact that the way we build reduces ​waste,​ time on site,​ groundworks and weather delays.
