Defective foundation
We commissioned Design Your Cabin, operated by Sky Design Ltd and directed by Chris Eade, to construct our garden cabin, completed in August 2024.
Shortly after completion, we noticed movement affecting the structure. We subsequently commissioned independent professional assessments, which identified deficiencies in the foundation design, including inadequate consideration of the clay soil and nearby mature trees.
Despite extensive correspondence, the underlying issues remain unresolved. Independent assessments have recommended remedial works.
In September 2026, Sky Design Ltd entered creditors’ voluntary liquidation, leaving us with an unresolved defect and the prospect of significant remedial costs.
This review reflects our personal experience, supported by independent professional reports. We recommend that prospective customers obtain independent advice on foundation suitability before commissioning similar work.
