Modulek were tasked with rescuing a project that had run out of time for a traditional build solution. This meant coming up with a modular option to replicate the same three storey design with the minimum number of concessions all in double quick time.

Most important of all, the build completed in just six weeks on-site, ready for the new term in September – an achievement that just wouldn’t have been achievable any other way than with Modulek’s bespoke rapid service!
