An effective and proven solution

The Off-site Advantages

Reducing Risk with Delivery On Time and On Budget -
Every Time

With only 63% of site-based construction projects delivered on time and only 49% delivered to budget, traditional build fails to meet the major challenges facing construction today.* That's why more organisations than ever before are recognising the need for more innovative methods of building that are safer, cleaner and more efficient, and which minimise disruption, guarantee quality and cost, and save time.

In response, Yorkon offers you an effective and proven solution for today's construction needs.

Over the last 5 years, Yorkon has further increased the percentage of projects delivered on time and on budget from 94% to 99% in 2008. And that's just the beginning...

  • Speed - Innovative building projects delivered in up to half the time of traditional construction, for a faster return on your investment.
  • Design flexibility - An even wider range of cladding, roofing and glazing options ensure that the Yorkon approach to off-site construction offers you unequalled design flexibility.
  • Latest innovations - You have the option of choosing the very latest innovations in modular building - such as the Yorkon high performance floor option for high traffic areas and heavy variable loads.
  • Greater sustainability - The Yorkon building approach has a host of sustainability advantages, from improved thermal performance and less waste, to a wider range of greener design options and effective whole life costing. This is endorsed with ISO 14001 certification for environmental performance.
  • Less wastage of materials - Off-site construction generates up to 90 per cent less waste than site-based building methods (source: WRAP). Yorkon also recycles 74 per cent of waste generated.
  • Less disruption and fewer vehicle movements to your site - Your building is manufactured in highly controlled factory conditions so you benefit from less disruption on your site and 90% fewer vehicle movements (source: Mtech).
  • The UK's leading off-site specialist - In recognition of our contribution to the construction industry, Yorkon has been awarded numerous awards and accolades. So when you choose Yorkon, you can be sure that you're choosing the very best.

  • Part of the Shepherd Group and a subsidiary of Portakabin - the Shepherd Group is one of the largest privately owned construction groups in the UK giving you the reassurance of financial stability and independence.
  • Peace of mind - Yorkon provides you with a unique Customer Charter, setting out the excellent service standards that you can expect throughout your project.
  • A pioneering 5-year product and 20-year structural warranty package - giving you the assurance that your modular building is built to last.
