Offsite manufacturer slots together one million sq ft of modular buildings
Hull-based offsite manufacturer, Premier Modular, has provided about one million sq ft of modular buildings over the course of 2023 – the equivalent of 18 York Minsters.
Highlights from the company’s permanent and rental portfolio include the Paper Yard building at Canada Water, London, which formed the second phase of British Land’s STEM Innovation Hub, the new permanent engineering block for Leeds City College’s Printworks Campus, and the beginning of the UK’s first modular barn theatre for Maidstone Hospital’s orthopaedic ward.
David Harris, CEO of Premier Modular, said: “This year has seen unprecedented success for the modular construction sector and we have built on this momentum at Premier.
“Our expansion plans for Northern Europe are firmly underway, as are our continued investment and growth of our Net Zero Buildings business.
“Innovation has not been short at Premier, which is exemplified in our partnership with Maidstone Hospital to build the first modular barn theatre for its orthopaedic ward.
“This includes the delivery of an open plan operating theatre with precise technical, mechanical and electrical requirements, which will help to reduce the waiting lists that were created during the pandemic for standard procedures.
“We enter 2024 from a position of strength, accelerating business growth through further sustainable innovation, with the introduction of longer-term net zero in operation solutions to the offsite market, as well as expanding our presence in the health, education, defence and justice sectors.”
