Modular Construction at Explore Offsite Futures

Kevin Arthur, Director at Elements Europe spoke at Explore Offsite Futures this week.

Held at the NEC in Birmingham the conference and exhibition creates a platform for construction clients and their professional advisers to explore the latest in off-site construction solutions, providing dynamic and interactive learning experiences.

Kevin spoke on behalf of Elements Europe in a soapbox session alongside others from the off-site arena.

Kevin highlighted Elements Europe‘s capabilities and how it adapts to industry demand in order to adopt growth which is ultimately driving Elements Europe to be one of the leading off-site modular construction companies in the UK.

Kevin also discussed Elements Europe’s experience across a number of sectors and the exciting projects that are in the pipeline for the residential sector.

“I was delighted to take the stand at Explore Offsite Futures. The breadth of speakers and industry topics discussed made for an excellent event.” commented Kevin.

“The residential sector was a major topic throughout the day, the industry’s hot topic and something which certainly reflects our order book.” He added.

Winter Evenings are Bright at Elements Europe

Lobbyists continue to remind policymakers of the effects fewer daylight hours bring to the UK.

Increased energy bills, reduced hours of trade with Central Europe, increased road traffic accidents and personal safety, increased crime, as well as a reduced number of tourists having an impact on the UK’s economy.

These are just some of the areas where the UK suffers and of course construction projects also see a negative effect as work on-site finishes much earlier than in summer months.

However, here at our factory the production line continues. Due to the controlled factory environment we can continue construction of modules as we would do at any time of the day right into the evening without any effect on output.

Another concern for the construction industry is health and safety, as the darker evenings increase the risk of minor and serious injury on-site, a problem we don’t have in our factory.

Our clients are guaranteed that no matter what time of the working day, or no matter what weather the British winter serves, construction of our modules will continue in the factory, something which couldn’t be said for traditional projects.
