Caledonian Modular offers a full design, manufacture and installation service for offsite construction projects from our two manufacturing facilities in Nottinghamshire and East Yorkshire. Our products range from simple single storey structures through to high rise multi million pound buildings.

We also have the capability to offer hybrid solutions utilising panelised systems and traditional site constructed elements to provide the most efficient and cost effective building solution. Working throughout the United Kingdom and Northern Europe we undertake a range of works from full turnkey packages to simple unit supply to main contractors. We have particular experience in the following sectors

Benefits of Offsite Construction


Faster There are significant programme savings to be achieved using offsite modular construction. With project start to completion times cut by up to 50%, disruption to clients and the local community is minimised, a particular benefit in the case of a school or hospital, for example. Work in the factory can be scheduled to start at the same time as preparing the site, so the two processes can take place in parallel, resulting in an accelerated build programme. And because a high proportion of the build and fit-out is completed in the factory, from internal and external walls and staircases to fully fitted en-suites, on-site time required for final finishing is reduced.

Cost-effective

Modular buildings, offering the cost and time saving benefits of offsite construction, deliver fast, accurate and value for money space solutions across the industry spectrum. Faster build programmes and less time spent on site brings sizable savings in labour costs and prelims. Completing a building in a shorter time scale also means a faster return on your investment and reduced payback periods.

Sustainable

Offsite construction provides a highly sustainable method of building and completed projects can achieve high standards of energy efficiency. For its part, Caledonian Modular is committed to reducing waste as part of the design process and to recycling up to 96% of waste from our factories and construction sites. Modular building projects also involve fewer traffic movements. In one project, a 2,000 bed development provided a 1,290 tonne reduction in CO2 – that’s the equivalent of planting 5,000 trees.

Flexible

Not simply rectangular boxes, modules can be custom-designed to meet a wide variety of building sizes and shapes. Faceted modules allow for curved buildings; awkward shapes around cores can be accommodated with cutbacks or wedge shaped modules. The module’s welded, hot rolled steel frame can be adapted to suit individual project specifications, including heights in excess of 20 storeys, a range of cladding and glazing solutions, and support for structures such as balconies and walkways.

Our Services


Plan Involving our experienced design teams from the outset of a project will ensure maximum value is achieved as it allows the construction process to be integrated into the building design. This reduces risk and optimises potential savings at each stage of the design and build.

Design

Modules are designed to maximise factory input and minimise deliveries to site. Designs can range from one module incorporating five bedrooms to smaller bespoke modules for plant/ancillary areas. Architectural features are incorporated into the design, including building shape, fenestration and curtain walling as well as any bolt on features such as balconies and walkways

Manufacture offsite

Module frames are erected in the factory in a similar fashion to how they would be set out on site. The modules are then fitted out with partitioning and M&E services, decorated, staircases and lift shafts constructed, windows and doors fitted, all ready for sheeting up before delivery to site.

Transport

Buildings are designed to meet site requirements as well as reducing transport. A recent study by WRAP identified an 83% reduction in transport for a modular project compared to a similar traditional build.

Build on-site

Once a stock of completed modules is ready at the factory deliveries can commence. Around 400m² of accommodation can be craned in each day, so a four-classroom school extension could be delivered in a day or a 100-bed hotel in less than two weeks.

Commission

Around 70% to 80% of modular buildings are completed in the factory, many already with their cladding and roofing, leaving just M&E services to be connected and partitioning and module joints to be finished. Larger buildings will be clad on site with brick/block/render or more contemporary claddings, as well as secondary roofs if required.

Locations Caledonian Modular operates out of two sites, one in Newark in Nottinghamshire and the other in Driffield in East Yorkshire. Between them these amount to around 600,000 square foot of manufacturing space, in fifty acres of overall site space, providing one of the largest modular manufacturing capacities in Europe.

Capacity

The factories operate on highly process driven principles whilst still being highly flexible and allowing a large variety of module shapes and sizes to be manufactured under the strictly controlled factory conditions. We have the capacity to manufacture up to 50 modules per week, an equivalent building area of 2000m2.

Process

The factory has in place full independent accreditation for both ISO9001 (Quality Assurance) and ISO14001 (Environmental Management) as well as full Health and Safety Management,. We also undertake a high degree of waste management within the facilities, achieving 96% waste to recycle levels within both sites.

Skills

The size of the main factory units allows buildings to be laid out as they will be on site. This allows the maximum content, including large proportions of the Mechanical and Electric services to be factory fitted whilst guaranteeing that the systems will align and operate seamlessly on site. This significantly increases quality and reduces site time.

Bathroom Pods

In addition to our main modular offsite business our subsidiary comma Caledonian Bathroom Pods also offers a bespoke pod service to the construction industry. Utilising high strength steel frames they offer industry leading quality and capability to the very highest standards (5 star plus) for all sectors.

Steelwork

Our in house steel fabrications business, Trent Fabrications, not only produces steel frames for both the bathroom pod and modular manufacturing lines but also fabricates non modular structure, portal frames and other steel fabrications.

Due to the tight nature of the site a 500

tonne crane was used to lift the modules

into place with deliveries taking place at

night.

One of the unusual aspects of this project

was that stair and lift shaft modules were

extended through the concrete plinth to

To meet this and minimise costs wider

A range of shaped modules containing

staircases and lift cores were designed,

including wedges, to alter the orientation of

longer runs, following site boundaries and

adding interest to the development. As a

way of maximising the offsite build, fully

fitted plant rooms were constructed in the
