Keep up to date with the latest news and events from the portable and modular building industry.
From the reluctance to adopt a non-traditional construction method, to the coronavirus pandemic and its impact on all aspects of the industry, in this article we explore some of the challenges facing the modular construction industry.
The difficulties the Education sector are facing have been well documented over recent weeks. The good news is that we are experts in working with schools to meet their problems through innovative ideas developed over many years.
Overall, UK construction uses more than 40 million tonnes of materials annually, making it the nation’s largest consumer of natural resources. Government and industry strategy states that within the next five years both construction-related emissions and project delivery times must be halved, and one clear solution to help achieve this is utilising off-site construction.
In this blog post, we will consider how ‘green’ modular construction is, including the sustainability benefits, waste management and recycling involved in modular construction.
Off-site construction is an ever-expanding and popular technique used in a variety of industries, such as education, commercial and healthcare. However, there is scope for it to develop further and branch into the mainstream construction sector and be applied to alternative building types and industries. A prime example of this is the development of the next generation of compact nuclear power stations.
When it comes to further education, the right learning, living and campus environment is critical to student enjoyment and academic success. This can be applied to all levels of education, as each stage is important to excel and reach the next. In this blog post we will look at how the increasing quality and sustainability of a modular build has helped to accommodate aspects of university life.
In this blog post we will explore the key barriers of offsite construction as well as its benefits, as identified in a recent survey. We will also discuss how some of these barriers have been surpassed.
