A faster return on your investment: Fully-fitted bespoke retail buildings delivered in half the time of traditional construction

Whether you need convenience stores, petrol forecourt shops, fast food outlets or restaurants, Yorkon has completed projects for some of the UK’s leading brands. That’s why companies as diverse as Tesco, Pizza Hut and Mcdonald’s have found that a Yorkon solution offers earlier occupation, guaranteed quality, design flexibility, cost control, improved site safety and minimal disruption.

"Our aim is to deliver stores which meet the changing needs of our customers and to provide a pleasant working environment for our staff. We have explored the benefits of modular construction, which offers guaranteed quality, is significantly quicker and, with volume, is more cost effective. The manufacture of identical stores across the UK also allows us to increase operational efficiencies enabling our staff to focus on serving customers."

How will you benefit from a Yorkon solution?

Fully fitted out in controlled factory conditions, a bespoke retail solution from Yorkon offers you completion times that are up to half the time of traditional construction. And that’s just the beginning...

• Reflect your corporate identity – Modular retail building is not restrictive in terms of design or layout. Your corporate identity can be incorporated to full effect. Externally, you have the freedom to employ brick, timber, terracotta tiles, full height glazing or rainscreen cladding and a range of roofing options.
• Your project on time and on budget – With only 63% of projects delivered on time and only 49% delivered to budget, traditional build fails to meet the major challenges facing the retail sector. In contrast, 94% of Yorkon projects are delivered on time and on budget.
• Flexible space – Your Yorkon building can accommodate everything from large open plan retail space and restaurant areas to individual offices and staff accommodation. Plus, you are not restrained or committed to a single layout if your future needs change.
• A cleaner, safer site and minimum disruption – Safety is paramount. Compared to HSE statistics on the safety of traditional construction methods, Yorkon solutions increase site safety by 46%.  Our buildings are constructed in a controlled factory environment, so you can expect 90% fewer vehicle movements and a shorter programme – giving you a safer, cleaner site and minimal disruption.
• Complete project management or working partnerships – Yorkon can provide a complete construction service including design, planning, health and safety, foundations, construction, fitting out and commissioning. Alternatively, we can work in partnership with design consultants, clients, contractors or end-users.

Built to last

• A pioneering 5-year product and 20-year structural warranty package – giving you the assurance that your building is built to last.
• With independent British Board of Agrément and Local Authority Building Control LANTAC approval, you can be certain that your facilities will meet the relevant Building Regulations and Building Standards.
• LPBC approval and fire engineered design minimises the risk from fire.
• Your building delivered on time and on budget – that’s a promise.
