If you need to mobilise a temporary or permanent building quickly and efficiently, modular builds offer a cost-effective, versatile alternative to traditional builds with a smaller environmental impact.
With a 50% reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions, and efficiency gains through time and cost savings, modular buildings support you to deliver the government’s construction and industry strategy targets and meet sustainability targets.
They can be easily expanded, reduced, relocated or reconfigured as required to meet user needs, and offsite construction reduces disruption, so your services can run uninterrupted while the build takes place – ultimately improving end-user experience and reducing downtime.
Our Modular Buildings 3 Framework Agreement can be used nationwide by NHS and wider public sector organisations, including education and residential, offering you modular solutions that meet your specific needs.

What are the benefits of using this framework agreement?
The efficiency gains from modular and offsite manufactured solutions support the delivery of the government’s construction and industry strategy targets, which include time and cost savings as well as whole life cost benefits and in use savings. By choosing modular solutions, organisations can benefit in several key ways.
FASTER DELIVERY
Modular buildings can be delivered up to 50% faster than traditional construction methods, reducing build times and minimising disruption. The off-site manufacturing process generates less waste and minimises disruption to the surrounding environment, aligning with the net-zero goals.
ADAPTED TO REQUIREMENTS
Modular buildings can be adapted to meet changing requirements over time, for example, expansion due to increased need. Adaption and reconfiguration of buildings can be done quickly and efficiently, thus causing less disruption to the delivery of on-going services.
FUTURE-PROOF SOLUTIONS
Modular Buildings can be easily expanded, reconfigured, or relocated – providing a future-proof solution that evolves with service needs.
