Construction sites usually involve a lot of mud, scaffolding, loud noises and disruption. More often than not, they also come with delays. When you are looking to expand your space, the idea of having a building site on your doorstep for months on end can stop your business from growing the way it deserves to.

At Paragon Space, we build differently. As one of the most experienced modular buildings companies Hull has to offer, we have spent over 15 years perfecting off-site construction. Instead of building from the ground up on your open site, we build your new space in our controlled factory, then deliver and install it in a fraction of the time.

Here is why this method is so much more efficient.

1. Concurrent Building

A traditional brick building is put together in a step-by-step process. The builders have to clear the ground, lay the foundations, and only after the foundations are set can they start building the walls. If the groundwork takes longer than expected, the whole project gets pushed back.

Off-site construction is so efficient because it lets us do two major aspects of your project at the same time. While a small team is at your location preparing the ground and installing the foundations, another one is inside our factory, building the actual structure.

Because we are doing these two jobs simultaneously, we can cut the total project time by up to 50% in some cases. You get your new space much faster, meaning your business or organisation can start using it months earlier than if you had chosen a traditional brick-and-mortar build.

2. Fewer Unforeseen Delays

On a traditional building site, a heavy downpour or a sudden freeze brings everything to a standstill. When the weather turns, the builders have to stop working, materials can get ruined by the damp, and your finish date gets delayed again and again.

When we build off-site, we construct your building indoors in a massive, dry, and secure factory. Our team can work comfortably and safely every single day, whether there is a storm outside or not. This means we stick to our schedule. If we say your building will be ready in six weeks, it will be ready in six weeks, because we do not have to rely on sunny skies to get the job done.

3. Better Control Over Quality

It is incredibly difficult to build something perfectly when you are standing in a muddy field wearing thick gloves. Mistakes happen, jobs have to be redone, and that wastes time and money.

In a factory environment, every stage of the build can be monitored closely. We can store materials safely, keep conditions consistent, and work with far fewer interruptions than on an exposed site. When the manufacturers keep the building process controlled like this, your business gets a higher-quality, longer-lasting space.

4. No Nasty Cost Surprises

One of the biggest worries when taking on a building project is the budget. With traditional building, the costs can easily spiral out of control. If the project takes an extra month because of bad weather, you have to pay the builders for that extra month.

Because our process is so controlled, we can offer financial certainty. We know exactly how much material we need, and we know exactly how long the labour will take because we are working in our factory. This means the price we quote you is the price you pay. It allows you to plan your business finances without worrying that you will be hit with hidden costs down the line.

5. Better for the Planet

We all want to do our bit for the environment, and traditional building sites create a lot of waste. You often see massive skips filled with off-cuts of wood, ruined plasterboard, and excess materials.

Building in a factory is much greener because we can calculate exactly what we need and order the right amount of materials. Any small off-cuts we do have can be easily recycled or reused on our next project. Plus, because we are delivering a mostly finished building to you, there are far fewer delivery lorries driving back and forth to your site, which cuts down on carbon emissions. If you have heard that modular buildings are considered a very eco-friendly choice, this is exactly why.

6. Less Disruption for Your Business

Finally, the biggest benefit of off-site construction is how little it disrupts your operations. If you are trying to run a business, a school, or a healthcare clinic, having a noisy, dusty building site right outside the window distracts your staff and creates a mess.

With our off-site approach, all the loud, heavy work happens miles away in our Hull factory. By the time we arrive at your site, the building is largely finished. We are only on-site to carefully lift the sections into place and connect them up. What would normally take months of on-site disruption can be completed in just a few days or weeks, depending on the size of your building. You can carry on with your normal day-to-day operations with barely any interruption.
