Planning and site design
Help developing the layout, working with architects where needed and liaising with the council on planning requirements.
A sauna space. Not just a sauna.
We design, build and coordinate the whole project, so you can focus on the place you want to create. Built with the hands-on experience of running our own Wild Sauna sites.
Discuss your project
One team for the whole project
A commercial or community sauna needs more than a well-built cabin. It needs a suitable site, the right services and a space that works for the people using it.
We can take care of the work you do not want to manage yourself, carrying out the build and coordinating the relevant specialists and organisations on your behalf. Whether you need a sauna alone or help creating the entire area, we agree the scope around your site, plans and budget.
Groundworks and services
Site preparation and levelling, plumbing, drainage and coordination with water companies and the relevant electricity network operator where connections are needed.
The sauna and surrounding space
A bespoke timber sauna, with options for changing facilities, cold plunges and outdoor showers to bring the area together.
Tech and operating systems
Support choosing and setting up the technology and systems you need to run the space, with the level of ongoing support agreed as part of your project.
Starting a community sauna?
You do not need to arrive with every detail worked out. Bring us your idea, the site you have in mind and what you want the sauna to offer your community.
We can help you work through the practical questions: where it will sit, how people will move through the space, what services it needs and who needs to be involved. Then we can take on the build and coordinate the work around it.
Built around your place
From a compact shared sauna to a larger gathering space, we shape the design around how it will be used.
Choose wood-fired or electric heating, explore materials and finishes, and see the proposed design through 3D modelling and material samples before the build begins. Changing rooms, cold-water facilities and bespoke joinery can be included where they suit your plans.
We run saunas too
Wild Sauna builds and operates its own saunas. That experience informs the practical side of the design, as well as the look and feel: welcoming guests, managing the space and using it day after day.
From first idea to opening day
Tell us what you have in mind
Share your location, your idea and any budget or timing you are working towards. An early conversation is enough to get started.
Shape the project
We work through the design, site requirements and level of support you need, then agree what is included in your quotation.
Build and bring it together
We carry out the sauna build and coordinate the agreed site work, specialists and installation, with support getting the space ready to use.
A few practical questions
Do we need a finished plan before getting in touch?
No. You can start with an idea and a possible site. We can help you work through the practical next steps.
Can you help with planning and utility connections?
Yes. We can coordinate the relevant people and organisations as part of the agreed project. Requirements depend on the location and proposal, and approvals remain with the responsible authorities.
Can you build just the sauna?
Yes. We can supply the sauna or manage a wider project, depending on the work you want us to take on.
Where do you work?
We build in Bristol and can work on projects across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery, access and installation arrangements are agreed for each site.
What will the project cost?
The cost depends on the sauna, the site and how much of the project you want us to manage. Your quotation will set out the sauna build, delivery, installation and any agreed site work, along with the VAT treatment.
Tell us about your project
A community sauna, a new outdoor venue or an addition to an existing business: tell us what you have in mind and where you want to build it.
An early idea is fine. You do not need finished drawings or a detailed specification.
