Having the structure of your home created offsite in a factory comes with numerous benefits. Firstly, you can get started with clearing your site and laying foundations at the same time that your structural shell is being crafted, meaning you reduce the time on site in comparison with built-up methods such as brick and block. Secondly, because your home is taking shape indoors, you won’t have to rely on the great British weather to be on your side. And even better, you’ll benefit from factory-precision, meaning it’s easier to guarantee high performance in terms of energy efficiency and airtightness.
