+++STOP PRESS+++ Yorkon Wins BEST HEALTHCARE BUILDING AWARD at the Offsite Construction Awards 08

Discover a full spectrum of innovative Healthcare facilities - Delivered on time and on budget

With only 63% of projects delivered on time and only 49% delivered to budget, traditional build fails to meet the major challenges facing service providers today. That’s why health trusts are seeking new and innovative methods of delivering permanent facilities – without compromising on quality.

At last! A viable alternative to traditional construction

Over the last 25 years, Yorkon has worked closely with NHS Trusts, Primary Care Trusts, The Health Care Commission, contractors, consultants and architects to successfully complete over 100 innovative projects for the health sector.

Over the last 5 years, Yorkon has improved the percentage of projects delivered on time and on budget from 94% to 100% in 2005. You can even expect delivery times that are up to half the time of traditional construction.

And that’s just the beginning. With earlier occupation, guaranteed quality, design flexibility, improved site safety and less disruption to your site during construction, the Yorkon building system offers you the ideal solution for a range of healthcare uses.

“We were treating patients less than 3 metres away from the new building and yet there was no disruption to any of the departments surrounding the courtyard. We believe traditional site-based building methods would have caused unacceptable noise levels and dust, affecting staff and patients.”
Reg Hollis, Head of Building and Engineering Services, Whipps Cross University Hospital
