UK: Modular Buildings: Modular Building Suppliers
LEADING UK MODULAR BUILDING SUPPLIERS
Yorkon is a leading supplier of modular buildings. It is a subsidiary of Portakabin, which is one of the UK's largest suppliers of portable temporary buildings. Portakabin is in turn part of the Shepherd Building Group, a leading family-owned building contractor based in York. Sheperd has more than 4,000 staff. Yorkon's pre-fabricated modular buildings are designed to have the benefits of controlled factory conditions for manufacture, but to produce buildings which do not look industrial. Although initially Yorkon modular buildings were used for urgent practical applications, for example at factories or airports, they are now increasingly being used by architects to create housing developments of high design standard.
Elliott Group is a leading supplier of modular buildings. Elliot modular buildings have a structure of galvanized steel, and may be stacked up to three stories high. A recent example of an Elliott modular building project is the crew facilities building at Southampton Airport, which contains 39 modules over three storeys.
