Cubis STAKKAbox™ prices
(and why they’re cheaper than traditional access chambers)

It’s a fair question, and one we’re only too glad to answer.
On paper, our upfront Cubis STAKKAbox™ prices can look higher than traditional brick or concrete built options. But as any contractor, client, or asset manager knows, true project cost isn’t measured in Day 1 unit prices. Overall project value is measured in things like time saved, risks avoided, and costs prevented. All of which are areas where Cubis Systems products deliver again and again.
Here’s a breakdown of why our access chambers are a cost-saving choice, even if the initial outlay is higher at point of sale.
1. Faster installation
...saving you hours of manpower per chamber
Cubis access chambers are designed to be modular, lightweight, and stackable. Unlike brick-built chambers that often require box builders, wet trades, curing times, and extended site presence, our solutions can be installed in a fraction of the time. (Typically, within an hour.)
That translates directly into:
- Lower labour costs
- Reduced time on site
- Fewer shifts
- Faster project progression
For teams working to tight deadlines or facing lane rental pressures, time-savings like these can significantly reduce overheads.
2. No specialist tools or backfills required
...reducing on extra installation expenditures
Building with brick and concrete often means hiring specialist subcontractors, sourcing exotic backfill materials, or accommodating heavy equipment on site.
Our lightweight, modular access chambers don’t need any of that.
Cubis STAKKAbox™ access chambers are designed for simple, safe manual handling and rapid assembly. So, that means:
- Fewer hidden costs creeping into your project
- More predictability in your schedule and budget
3. Reduced transport needs
...cutting your logistics costs
Because Cubis chambers are flat-packed and lightweight, they’re far more efficient to ship to site. You can fit significantly more product per load compared to heavy concrete or brick components. All of which means:
- Fewer delivery vehicles
- Lower fuel consumption
- Reduced emissions
For clients targeting sustainability KPIs or aiming to reduce Scope 3 emissions, the logistics efficiency of Cubis chambers is a major advantage. Meanwhile, for cost-conscious contractors, it means real cash savings on transport.
4. Consistent, repeatable installations
...keeping money in your pocket against QC issues
Traditional builds depend heavily on the skill of the installer. That introduces risk: inconsistent finishes, variable quality, and more rework.
Cubis chambers are precision-manufactured and designed for repeatability, delivering consistent installations regardless of who’s on site.
That consistency reduces the risk of post-installation issues, meaning:
- Fewer call-backs
- Fewer quality assurance headaches
- A smoother handover process
5. Reduced manual handling risks
...avoiding surprise health & safety / injury costs
Health and safety matters, and not just from a compliance perspective. Injuries from manual handling are a major cause of:
- Lost time
- Insurance claims
- Unexpected project delays
Our lightweight composite chambers reduce the need for lifting equipment and lower the risk of strain or musculoskeletal injuries. That’s a cost-saving in itself.
Beyond that, it’s also a powerful way to protect your workforce and avoid the hidden costs of incidents.
6. A proven time, cost & resource saver
Cubis Systems solutions have been used across rail, telecoms, water, energy, highways, and more. In project after project, the results are the same. Customers report:
- Significantly reduced installation times
- Fewer personnel needed on site
- A smoother, safer process from start to finish
The reality is simple: while our access chambers may carry a higher initial price tag, they deliver whole-life value that traditional materials can’t match.
Watch a STAKKAbox™ installation versus a brick-built chamber, and see which method you'd prefer.
If you're only comparing unit costs, Cubis STAKKAbox™ prices may seem like the premium option. But infrastructure doesn’t stop at procurement. When you factor in installation, logistics, safety, maintenance, and project efficiency, the savings quickly add up.
In fact, the higher up-front cost of Cubis is often offset multiple times over by the time the installation is complete.
