Offsite building success down to innovation
Prefabricated construction company Yorkon has attributed its recent surge in sales and market share to continued development in the field.
Innovative technologies introduced by the company include the use of green materials that do not infringe on product quality, shaped modules and an improved variety of cladding and glazing options.
Director and general manager of Yorkon David Johnson comments: "As a business, we have continued to innovate […] We have introduced new architectural features and design tools to meet the needs of building end users, contractors and architects."
Mr Johnson also believes modular building has now become synonymous with making an architectural "statement building".
Current Yorkon projects in the pipeline include the UK's largest ever modular healthcare build, a £12 million hospital for the West Hertfordshire NHS Trust.
Yorkon is the UK's leading manufacturer of modular building and has been in operation for over 25 years.
