Off-site construction

Yorkon's new video is designed to help change the perception of off-site construction and to show what is possible with the latest developments in modular technology.

The video can be viewed at www.yorkon.info/reality and follows the launch of the new Yorkon building system which now has thousands of different configurations and permutations. Its structure can accommodate almost any architectural design, size, site or building footprint.

The video shows: How the steelframed buildings are manufactured off site, including roof, floor and wall sub-assemblies; the level of fitting out before a building goes to site; factory-installed concrete floors that will achieve low response factors for the highest specification buildings; how the system is installed; and a range of finished buildings.

The new Yorkon building system is made to tight engineering tolerances of 1mm in 18m. This helps improve thermally efficiency. The company says it can reduce heat loss by 32% compared to Building Regulations requirements.
