BENEFITS
The extrodinary benefits of off-site Volumetric Construction are;
Speed
Huge Program Time Savings can be made.
Factory Production and concurrent Site Working results in huge Time Savings where clients can utilise their asset quicker and generate income.
Bad weather delays are substantially less on volumetric projects.
Cheaper
Being faster, on-site Prelim costs are substantially reduced. Earlier completion dates help clients generate income from the new asset quicker.
Sub-Structure & Foundation costs are often substantially reduced due to the simple corner loaded system of construction.
Wastage – In conventional construction, material wastage is sometimes high due to damage, bad weather, over ordering etc. Factory production means significantly less waste.
Sustainability
Our bespoke Powerwall system meets and often exceeds code level 4 for Sustainability.
Site Waste is reduced by up to 90% (Source; Wrap Survey …………………………..)
