The Offsite Construction Awards are held annually to celebrate the very best in modular construction, honouring outstanding examples of factory-built structures and innovative offsite technology. The 2019 awards ceremony takes place on 5 March at ExCel London, with an estimated 350 industry delegates expected to attend.
The finished Holiday Inn Express building
Chapman Taylor has become a leading player within the off-site sector. Chapman Taylor’s Research and Development team has produced a trademark off-site modular housing model, called Umbrellahaus®, which can be constructed at scale and speed to provide much-needed community housing.
Chapman Taylor's Umbrellahaus® modular housing model
We have pioneered development within the industry through development of a range of off-site construction solutions, ranging from modular bathroom pods to full volumetric modular projects.
We have also written Insight papers, spoken at off-site conferences and given presentations explaining the benefits of modular construction - all reflecting our view that off-site construction encourages greater collaboration and an excellent quality of end-product.
High-quality internal finishing at Trafford's Holiday Inn Express
Our experience has recently contributed to the successful delivery of the North-West’s first, volumetric, modular hotel – the multi-award-winning Holiday Inn Express at Trafford City. The speed of construction helped save the client an estimated £1 million in development costs while achieving a very high quality of finished building, allowing trading to begin well ahead of schedule.
