Modular or mortar? Spot the difference!

22/10/24

When you think of a hospital building, what comes to mind? Bricks and mortar or modular construction?

As part of the Construction 2025 strategy, the government is advocating for increased use of offsite construction in the public sector. That’s because the real differences between offsite and traditional methods aren’t visual, but champion quick installation time, cost and carbon footprint of construction projects.

Modular healthcare buildings offer a range of benefits, including:

• Quality control: with all units built in a controlled factory environment
• Flexibility: with high adaptability and easy capacity expansion options
• Reduced disruption: hospitals can stay operational during renovations and patient contact with a live construction site is minimised

We’ve had the privilege of becoming trusted construction partners for hospital trusts up and down the UK, providing modular solutions that are high specification, compliant and always high quality.

Do you think you could tell the difference between modular and traditional build? We think it’s time to put your eye for detail to the test. Using images from our own modular projects as well as ones built via traditional construction methods, we want to know if you can tell which is which.
