Prototyping and production from one partner.
The Land Yard is an outsourced manufacturing partner. Bring us a finished design or an existing product, with your Gerbers and BOM, and we take it to finished, tested boards at the volume you need.
Two stages. Start at either.
Prototyping
We build prototypes from your design files, test them with you, and build each new round from your updated files until the product is ready for production.
- Functional prototypes in production-intent materials
- CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal and fabrication
- Electronics and PCB assembly for connected products
- Fit checks, assembly trials and functional testing
Production and PCB assembly
Your approved design goes to the partner best suited to it, from low-volume batches to full production. We manage the run, inspect and test every batch, and deliver to your door.
- PCB assembly: SMT and through-hole
- Low-volume and batch production
- Full-scale production runs
- Machining, fabrication, moulding, casting and electronics assembly
What every stage includes
One accountable point of contact
A named person in the UK runs your project from enquiry to delivery. You never chase a supplier you have not met.
The right capability, matched and vetted
We match each job to a partner with the right process, equipment and standards, and check them before your boards go anywhere near them.
Quality assured in writing
Standards, testing and remedies are agreed before work starts. You get the inspection and test records with every batch.
Clear, itemised quotes
Your quote is based on your product's requirements and spells out what is included. If your requirements change, we requote before any extra cost is incurred.
Delivery handled
Packing, freight, paperwork and delivery to your door are part of the job, not an extra for you to arrange.
Common questions
Is there a minimum order size?
No fixed minimum. We take on single prototypes, low-volume batches of tens or hundreds, and production runs in the thousands. For each project we tell you plainly at quote stage where the unit price starts to fall and whether your volume suits the process.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on board complexity, component lead times and quantity, and every quote includes a written timeline. As a guide, a first prototype usually takes a few weeks, and a first production run from several weeks to a few months once the prototype is signed off. Component lead times are usually the biggest factor.
How do quotes and pricing work?
Every product is different, so pricing depends on your requirements: components, board complexity, quantities, testing and timeline. Share your files, we talk it through on a call, and we send a free written quote with no obligation. If your requirements change, we requote before any extra cost is incurred.
What do I need before I get in touch?
Finished design files. We build products, we don't design them. Have your Gerber files, a bill of materials (BOM) with manufacturer part numbers, a pick-and-place (centroid) file, an assembly drawing, and any test requirements or standards your product must meet. If you don't have these yet, you'll need a design engineer first. Come back to us when your files are ready.
Not sure which stage you need?
Tell us what you have and where you want to get to. We’ll recommend the right starting point. Free, no obligation. We’ll call you within 24 hours.
