| ‘EconoSpace’ is an abbreviation of ‘economical space’. This relates to the design and construction of small buildings of the type which can be made by people themselves on minimal budgets. Learning how to create small buildings in this way is essential for anybody wishing to embrace a more sustainable life. |
| The EconoSpaceMaking process has been configured to be practical and realistic in respect of the time and resources people might have available to them. When these skills have been mastered a person then confidently tackle into the more demanding task of creating larger buildings. |
 |
| Almost all modern building activity is subject to legislative control administered by local authorities. This means that one has to obtain some form of permission in order to build something. However there also exists a category of building activity which is largely free from legislative control called ‘Exempted Development’. |
| Exempted Development is designed to facilitate small scale works within the boundaries of existing properties – for example the building a shed or a studio behind an existing house. Generally there are limits to the floor area, the height, position and the use to which such small buildings can be put. EconoSpaces are designed to fall within Exempted Development limits. |

| In some cases a building of 25sqm can be constructed with a ridge height of 4m which is quite a substantial size. Even a building of 10sqm, if it is well thought out, will facilitate many different uses and can be built very economically. |
| The EconoSpace design and construction process can be carried out with very little in terms of equipment. |
