Modular
The full off-site option that BWF offer is Turnkey Modular.
Modular units are great for an annexe, a 1-2 bedroom home, additional office space, a medical room that can be moved to different locations, adaptable living spaces and assisted living spaces, that can all be moved or upgraded if the need changes.
Structures
As a timber based company aiming to continually improve our sustainability we have designed and developed with timber at the core of everything.
Over the years we have been able to reduce steel within our structures to less than 3%, which makes them lighter, more sustainable and normally cheaper than our competitors.
The BWF modular structure is manufactured predominantly using SIPs or our own BWF super grade timber frame. We also integrate a very small amount of steel for specific strength points along with recycled insulation and glulam.
We have through our research and development designed our own BWF System8 lifting arrangement to enable level lifts to all of building types and shapes that we currently manufacture.
The level of finish and size of the module will affect the weight and distance that it can travel on the crane.
Fitting out and external finishes
When considering the fit out and finishes the material choices will need to be considered against the weight and crane capacity to load the unit into the site position. Individual modules will often be heavier per metre square, as they will have more insulation and a complete set of external finishes.
When the modules are connected to create a larger volumetric building the external finishes and greater insulation are only added to the external facing elevations, so the units may all have different weights and sizes, whilst having the same core structure.
The level of finish and size of the module will affect the weight and distance a module can travel on the crane. Therefore, we offer a site appraisal to identify the options and most suitable choice of product and delivery method.
