“In our view, the most important benefit of a modular solution is the reduced programme compared to site-based construction. If we can complete a PET-CT facility several months earlier, as with the Norwich project, we can deliver these much needed diagnostic services to patients sooner. Premier helped us to achieve this and provided value for money as well as the capabilities and expertise we required. The staff operating the new facility are very happy with it and it is helping us to offer an enhanced patient experience and pathway for the local cancer network in Norfolk community.”

Gary Walters
Property Workstream Lead, Alliance Medical:

“The Premier team understood the vital importance and urgency of this project from the outset and as a result worked harder and faster to make it happen. There was incredible pressure to deliver this building to such a short programme. Premier grasped our mindset as healthcare providers and the real world impact this building would have on our patients waiting for treatment. Despite the pressures, the Premier project team was constantly collaborative, flexible and worked as a genuine partner to the Trust.”

“Design choices had to be made in the context of budget, programme, and the incredibly fast changing healthcare environment. This demanded an exceptional understanding of the issues and the technicalities of compliance to rapidly developing Covid guidelines for infection control. Their team’s positive approach, practical support, attention to detail, communication, focus and enthusiasm to get the job done were remarkable and enormously appreciated.”

“Their team was sensitive and respectful of the hospital environment at all times and of our need to maintain services and the highest standards of patient care throughout. We have had really positive feedback from patients about the new facility and hope to work with Premier on future projects.”

Chris Kelly, Estates Development Manager
North Middlesex University Hospital:

“Pre-approved suppliers such as Premier Modular, have won their place on this framework based on the high quality of their work and the long-term value they can deliver. The consistent quality of modular construction can help increase efficiency, lower lifetime costs and help local authorities, NHS trusts and other public sector bodies achieve their net zero targets by providing better fabric performance and solutions that deliver real social value and community benefits.”

Dean Fazackerley
Group Procurement Manager, LHC

“It is hard to express our gratitude to Premier Modular for the amazing donation of our new scout building. The whole process from designing the facility to maximise its use, seeing it being built in the factory and finally watching it craned piece by piece into its new home was something we will never forget.”

“This amazing gesture has secured the future for generations to come ensuring we can continue to provide skills for life for so many young people. Thank you.”

Darren Hasting, Scout Leader 
1st Molescroft Scouts – CSR project

“It is fantastic to see Premier’s expansion into the residential sector, building on their vast experience in other areas. BOPAS is an independent, standards-led benchmark for modular housing, providing long-term assurance to lenders and valuers that homes built using non-traditional methods of construction offer longevity and reliability.”

Jeff Maxted
BOPAS (Buildoffsite Property Assurance Scheme)

“A true demonstration of collaboration to deliver for our customers. Congratulations to all involved.”

Noreen Winhall, Commercial Director
Crown Commercial Service - Covid-19 testing sites:

“This project forms part of the Trust’s emergency pathway redevelopment programme, which is now underway, and responds to the urgent national need to increase capacity in emergency care.”

“Offsite construction means less time on site and therefore much less disruption to patient care, which is a priority for the Trust. The Premier solution met the technical constraints of this site, particularly to provide seamless connections at two levels to maintain patient flows between the existing Emergency Department. Premier has demonstrated the flexibility and design capabilities to engineer a bespoke solution for this challenging site, with all the speed, quality and value benefits of offsite construction. We look forward to the successful delivery of this much needed new unit.”

Andrew Grimes
Assistant Director of Property and Capital Development – St Peter’s Hospital

“As a Council, we are committed to exploring modern methods of construction and more innovative ways of delivering new housing. The use of an offsite solution for this residential scheme radically reduces time on site which will mean far less disruption locally during the build programme.”

Cllr John Chilver, Cabinet Member for Property and Assets
Buckinghamshire Council – Desborough Road Apartments

“We have ambitious plans to provide more accommodation for people who are homeless. This apartment project will increase the number of temporary homes in High Wycombe by 65 per cent, enabling us to meet the growing local need and provide a much better living environment for families who need our help. The new accommodation will also bring people closer to local amenities, such as transport facilities, GP surgeries and schools as well as other support services.”

Cllr Isobel Darby, Cabinet Member for Housing and Homelessness,
Buckinghamshire Council – Desborough Road Apartments

“Premier has developed the most cost-effective building solutions that met our requirements and budget. Their team has been very flexible, adapting the designs to our changing needs, and with a strong emphasis on customer care.”

John Harrison, Section Lead Construction Manager
SCS JV – HS2

“Modular construction allows us to halve the construction time, with obvious benefits to residents in the neighbouring areas. But, more importantly, it allows us to respond to the rapidly developing needs of our local community much faster than we would otherwise, by providing value-for-money, high quality housing for local people.”

Marcia Kirlew, Development Manager
Be First – Wivenhoe Apartments

“In our view, Premier offers a really good product, supported by excellent service. Their approach has brought us significant cost savings by reducing the build programme to allow earlier occupation.”

“Our experience with Premier has shown them to be one of the very best offsite specialists in the industry, which is reflected in their collaborative approach with Starbucks. Their innovative building solutions allow us to use offsite manufacturing for the drive-thru cafés, maintain build quality, and meet the Starbucks brand and cost requirements precisely.”

Daren Burney, Managing Director
Burney Capital Partners – Starbucks/Greggs

“Premier demonstrated an understanding of the issues of constructing a new building in a live SEN environment and performed well. The build quality is good and the new facilities have been well received by the school and everyone involved. We needed a fast-track solution to help meet the rising demand for SEND places.”

“The children at the school have complex needs and site-based construction was not the best way to proceed because of the noise and vibration levels that would then be generated. Moving work offsite and into a factory was therefore a huge advantage. The manufacturing processes of modular construction also allowed the building work to continue safely during the Covid-19 lockdown. It is definitely easier to manage and maintain social distancing requirements in a factory environment than on site.”

Sam Simons, Team Leader
Nottingham City Council – Nethergate Academy

“Modular buildings can be relocatable which makes the approach very suitable for fixed-term service contracts. These buildings could potentially be moved to another hospital when the contract for the site expires. Offsite construction also suits hospital sites very well because there is much less time on site than with traditional building methods – a big advantage. The foundations and drainage are put in place while the facility is manufactured offsite in the factory. Having the building operational at an earlier stage is much less disruptive for the host NHS trust and most importantly, gets the diagnostic services up and running for patients more quickly.”

“Premier performed well on this project and everyone is pleased with the building which is operating well. We look forward to working with their team on future schemes.”

David Curzon, Senior Project Manager
Lee Wakemans Management – Alliance Medical:

“The new hospital is a fantastic facility for the South West and was a tremendous effort by the whole construction team. There was an impressive collective desire and positivity throughout to make this happen and in only 57 days.”

“Premier Modular rose to the challenge and were responsive to our requirements to help us extend the existing building to deliver this emergency healthcare project to a radically reduced programme. They were able to accommodate the client’s design changes and their site team worked well with our project managers so we could co-ordinate M&E installation and fit out with our supply chain.”

Graham Kingdon, Construction Director
BAM – NHS Nightingale Exeter

“This project is an example of how striking and unique architectural design, that is also in keeping with its surroundings, can be successfully married with delivery via offsite construction, bringing many benefits including speed, quality and efficiency.”

Akshay Khera
Architecture Director, BDP – St Peter’s Hospital

“It is great to see how Be First has really embraced offsite construction to allow the development of challenging sites such as this, which would be very difficult to develop using in-situ construction methods. As a contractor, we appreciate that modular housing is helping us to deliver construction projects faster for our clients, addressing the shortfall in available housing. We are looking forward to working with Premier on this project. The apartments will be manufactured and fully finished while we prepare the groundworks on site ready for module installation.”

Ed Bartlett, Project Lead, Jerram Falkus – Wivenhoe Apartments

"We were completely overwhelmed and proud of the response and collaboration between Premier, their suppliers and all the other hard-working teams shown in the response to the covid-19 testing sites.
The engagement and support given to the Department of Health to turn a difficult requirement into a fast and slick deployment, really showed the benefits of dealing directly with the modular building manufacturer.”

Paul Jones, Category Lead
Crown Commercial Service - Covid-19 testing sites:

“The site set up and the testing facility at Havant are fantastic. This is a well-designed building which is highly efficient for maintaining patient flows and social distancing. The modular solution is easy to keep clean, is not exposed to the elements and is a safe and comfortable environment for our staff to work in. The building installation went very smoothly in just a few hours. This testing site will have a really positive impact on the local community.”

George Swanepoel, Project Manager
 Covid test centres, Sodexo

“Our goal with this new trains factory is to really put Goole on the global map. We want to create more than just a rail manufacturing facility. This is about generating long-term investment, skills and jobs.”

“We were pleased to work again with Premier Modular which is also a local Yorkshire company. It was important for us to have a high quality working environment for the project teams working on the site and to create a positive first impression of this important investment scheme for our visitors.”

“It is fantastic to have the viewing platform for visitors to get a whole view of the site. This is part of our commitment to working with the local supply chain to create local value.”

Sambit Banerjee, Managing Director
Siemens Mobility Rolling Stock and Customer Services

“Premier Modular was sensitive to the need for us to continue the day-to-day operation of the Academy and was able to complete the build with minimum disruption. Their team has produced a wonderful, purpose-built facility which will enable us to continue to provide the best possible educational experience and further meet the needs of autistic children with complex needs.”

Tracey Ydlibi, Executive Principal
Nethergate Academy

“Premier have been very collaborative throughout the process working with us to de-risk the project and deliver certainty of design, cost and delivery. On the back of this project we have secured a further five primary schools for the same client and have negotiated the modular schools with Premier where they have performed so far to the same standards and picked up on lessons learned.”

Neil Walker
Framework Director, ISG

“The demand for offsite construction continues to grow and this project proves why. The Premier building system gives us a high level of design flexibility which ultimately improves the finished building in both aesthetics and functionality, and particularly when creating a learning environment to support SEN. We collaborated on the design with Premier to help deliver a new facility that will undoubtedly prove to be an invaluable addition to the academy and the community.”

“We have been impressed with Premier and in particular how their concrete floor system is ideally suited to education buildings.”

Craig Taylor, Associate Director
Lungfish Architects – Nethergate Academy

“Premier Modular performed well on this project and despite the demands of the Covid-19 pandemic, the new facility was completed on time. It has been delivered to a high standard throughout and is helping us to meet a requirement for additional accommodation for the next two years. We appointed Premier following their team’s successful performance on earlier projects for BAE and so had confidence in their ability to deliver. They added value to the scheme, particularly in the design stages with the construction of a prototype bedroom in the factory to allow the client to review finishes and detailing.”
