The Van Build Hub

The Van Build Hub A unique environment to facilitate and support your van-build dreams.

We know from our own experience just how difficult it can be to find somewhere safe, secure, warm, dry, flexible and spacious enough to undertake your van conversion projects, with many people resorting to undertaking conversions in unsuitable situations such as by the roadside or on driveways, much to the detriment of their own patience and angst of their neighbours sometimes! Sourcing your own p

rivate warehouse or unit as an alternative to complete your build is not for the faint hearted. It can not only be complex, difficult and expensive but it is also extremely rare to find somewhere suitable that provides the flexibility of not having to commit to lengthy, formal commercial property leases. To address this problem, we decided to create a dedicated facility and invite people from all around the UK and beyond to come and join our van build hub family, where you will be made to feel extremely welcome in a relaxed, friendly and hard-working environment. A setting which is tailor-made for you to use, learn as you build, contribute to the group and accomplish your own goals. It might be a simple re-modelling job, technology upgrade or a full scale build from scratch! Whatever the case may be, the van build hub will not only welcome you in but support and enable you.

Looking for a place to convert your own campervan?

A warm welcome to Rich who’s just arrived here at The Van Build Hub in sunny Ayrshire, Scotland :)

People from all walks of life and places across the UK are using the facility to work indoors in a safe, secure and fun environment with other like-minded folks.

A warm welcome to Kim & Lisa who arrived at The Van Build Hub here in Ayrshire this morning from Edinburgh. Here they are with Riley "The Foreman" :)

After 3 months touring Europe last year, they realised their van wasn't the way they wanted. It’s great to have them with us for 4 weeks to change the layout of their Mercedes Sprinter Campervan, making it more remote work friendly and to also re-do the electrics. They live in a flat and were finding it impossible to work on their van.
