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.
