New design tool for off-site construction
Published:  12 September, 2008

Since the launch of its new design tool to help architects and contractors work with off-site construction, award-winning school building specialist and Portakabin subsidiary, Yorkon, has received over 1,200 requests for the guide.

This unprecedented interest is further evidence of the growing demand for off-site construction as a high quality, efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional site-based building methods.  Demand is particularly strong from architects and contractors in the education sector, as well as schools and local authorities.

In response to the high level of interest in the new tool and following the success of its series of design workshops for architects, contractors and consultants, Yorkon has added three new workshops to its event programme which will take place on 2nd October 2008 at the RIBA in London. 

Each session will demonstrate how to design buildings using a steel-framed modular system with practical advice on how to optimise the benefits of off-site construction. 

To register for one of the design workshops, email contact@yorkon.com or call 0845 2000 123.

The design tool is available in interactive pdf format via the Yorkon website.  It is a comprehensive guide to steel-framed modular construction.   For CAD users, there are easy-to-use files to help architects develop a building design for a specific project and produce fast and accurate project drawings.
