Prefabricated / Modular Extension

An extension constructed from factory-made modules or volumetric units that are craned into position and assembled on site in a fraction of the time of traditional construction. Modular extensions offer faster programme, better quality control, less site disruption, and potentially improved thermal performance. They are subject to the same planning and building regulations requirements as traditionally built extensions.
