History and Evolution
The brief was to design a simple factory built solution to create rapidly
deployable living spaces within existing buildings.

History and Evolution – Where its started
The Co-Pod housing system

History and Evolution – Proposed Elevations

History and Evolution – The CoPod in Situ

History and Evolution – The Finished Apartments

History and Evolution – Internal Space

History and Evolution – Bathroom Pods - Commercial

History and Evolution- Bathroom and Kitchen Pods - Residential

History and Evolution – Modular Housing

History and Evolution
We developed a range of 12 house types using a light steel frame panel system
with factory finished kitchens and bathrooms.

Civils completed and bathroom and kitchen pods installed followed by structural wall and floor system.
Building fully framed in a single day with all bathrooms and kitchens complete.

The finished House.

Structural Pods – Hotels, Students schemes and Care Homes
Pods designed to stack and provide racking for both the Light steel frame walls and support for
the floors which were Lewis decking with a Gyvlon pour.

4th floor fully frames c/w with finished bathrooms

The birth of Roompod
Looking at this image we realised that it would be possible to build the entire room in the
factory as a fully structural element and volumetric offsite was born.

School Classrooms
 Modular solution used to deliver 4 new Classrooms
 All the modules were installed in only 5 weeks and the total construction time
was 10 Weeks
 Kier was contracted to deliver new Scape Connect Up branded Classrooms.
 Client required a turnkey solution to be delivered as quickly as possible.
 Client wanted to relocate the neighbouring primary school onto Aylestone
secondary school and minimise the impact of the construction activities
 Construction could only commence after the exam period had finished,
leaving 10 weeks to refurbish the existing block and construct a new
extension.
“The school opened on time to a delighted client, scoring 10/10 for customer
satisfaction. When asked how they felt their only comment was ‘Ecstatic’ “
Project value: £715k
Modular cost: £393k
Delivered on budget

School Classrooms
 Connext Up Box Clever design solution used to deliver 3 new Classrooms
was 3 months
 Each module could be completely pre-fabricated off-site in a low-risk,
controlled environment
 The modular construction commenced in parallel with groundworks, and was
not affected by incremental weather
 The under floor heating is a fantastic addition allowing the Children to sit on
the floor comfortably for reading time
“The pupils take real pride in their new buildings and this is reflected in their
positive approaches to lessons “
Delivered on budget

 Scape Connext Up solution used to deliver 4 new Classrooms
was 12 weeks
“The whole process from beginning to end went very smoothly and the design
team worked with us to ensure that the end result was just what we needed.
The classrooms are definitely a wow factor. I am now waiting our first electric
bill as I am sure with the solar panels and the more efficient heating system our
bills will be much lower”

Today – High Performance Housing Modules

Today – High Performance Volumetric Housing
2016 Building Regulations are a game changer as they will require the traditional
builders to ‘Up their game’. Our factory modules achieve these high levels of
insulation on a ‘Fabric First basis without the need for renewables.

Delivering Project with Offsite Modular
 BUILDINGS DELIVERED to much higher quality and levels of performance
 GREATLY SHORTENS THE CONSTRUCTION TIME ON SITE. It is perfectly feasible to deliver a
modular house and move in the same day.
 DELIVERS THE BUILDING QUICKER. Thereby frees up capital and reduces prelim costs. Analysis of
a direct comparison between building traditionally Vs offsite typically show that the offsite method
can be up to 10% more cost effective for a better quality building
 LESS SNAGGING COSTS because quality will be higher due to factory environment.
 ACCURACY OF BUDGETING. reduces likelihood of cost over runs.
 GEOGRAPHIC COST SAVINGS. Factory housing uses local regional labour so when building in
expensive urban areas can prove to be even more cost effective.
 REDUCES LABOUR ONSITE The need for 1st and 2nd fix trades such as plumbers, electricians, tilers
etc is drastically reduced.
 REDUCES WASTE. It is estimated that waste accounts for 10% of all material delivered to site.
Factory waste runs less than1%.
 HEALTH AND SAFETY incidents are greatly reduced because much of the work is carried out off site.

Thank you
