27th Aug 2008 – Foremans Publishes New Literature for Pre-Owned Modular Buildings - A More Sustainable Approach to Construction

Foremans Relocatable Building Systems, the UK’s largest supplier of pre-owned modular buildings, has launched a new brochure outlining the design options and technical advancements now available for this highly sustainable, fast and cost-effective approach to construction.

 
The new literature for construction clients, main contractors and end users of buildings in both public and private sectors, is an informative guide to buying, selling and hiring pre-owned modular buildings for offices, schools, hospitals, airports and temporary site accommodation.

It is illustrated with completed projects across a diverse range of sectors and features comments from clients and building occupiers. It also includes information about specifications, procurement options, health and safety, and the sustainability benefits of recycling and refurbishing modular buildings. 

The Foremans approach offers all the advantages of off-site construction – speed, quality and less disruption – with the additional benefits of exceptional value for money and a higher degree of sustainability because the modules supplied are pre-owned and fully refurbished. 

The use of recycled modular buildings is an environmentally sound alternative to demolishing and disposing of traditionally-built buildings in landfill sites.  

Refurbished steel-framed modular buildings, which are compliant with Building Regulations, generate less than 10 per cent of the carbon emissions and use less than 3 per cent of the energy during construction compared to a newly manufactured building of equivalent size.

The modules are fully upgraded and reconfigured off site by Foremans to clients’ specific project requirements, for either permanent or temporary accommodation. This minimises waste and energy consumption, allows other organisations to benefit from the advantages of off-site construction, and reduces programme times by up to 70 per cent compared to site-based building methods.  

Buildings can be clad in a range of finishes to complement existing facilities, and can be supplied in single or multi-storey configurations for a wide range of uses, including classrooms, nurseries, wards, offices, site accommodation, and airport facilities.

Organisations can hire, purchase or lease their accommodation for unrivalled choice and flexibility and to help meet their changing needs.
