What are the benefits of offsite construction?

Building off site means less disruption to your business or home. By building offsite the build process is similar each time, this means that the team aren’t adjusting to new surroundings on each build. Building off site helps to create efficient processes it also requires less heavy machinery to be transported between jobs, thus creating less pollution. We build 12 months of the year because we are not affected by weather conditions.
