Offsite Manufacture
We’ve been leading the way in offsite manufacture for many years, delivering solutions through our specialist facility in Yorkshire – the largest of its kind in the UK.
Our prefabricated modules combine mechanical and electrical systems, tailored to fit the unique dimensions of each building. These framed solutions can include heating, chilled, hot and cold-water pipework, electrical containment, and ventilation ductwork.
Offsite manufacture offers clear advantages: it’s safer, faster, and more cost-effective than traditional on-site builds. It reduces deliveries, labour time, on-site waste, and supports our commitment to working safely, responsibly and sustainably.
Our ‘design for manufacture’ approach provides a practical, efficient and environmentally friendly alternative – ideal for projects with site constraints or complex build requirements.

Manchester Town Hall
We are supporting the refurbishment and partial restoration of Manchester’s prestigious town hall. The ‘Our Town Hall’ project for Manchester City Council will protect this grade I listed building, which dates back to 1877. Work is underway on the project and sees us undertaking the removal and replacement of all mechanical, electrical and plumbing services. Working together with our Engineering division, our Offsite Manufacture and IT Services business units have played an integral part in the tender process and this close working relationship will continue throughout the project.
