Wernick Buildings: Your trusted education modular building provider

Modular construction is an ideal process for constructing modern and permanent educational facilities. There are many advantages to why you should consider a modular building over traditional building techniques. More and more modular schools are being built across the UK to provide a unique and safe learning environment for every generation of pupils who attend. From single to multi-storey premises, a modular building solution offers a flexible design for your school to ensure you can construct the perfect educational space.

Wernick Buildings can be your trusted provider for all your education modular building requirements: from design and build, to installation, we offer a full turnkey solution supplying you with a fully fitted building in a fraction of the time it would take for a traditional build.

Your project will be led by a construction team who will be sure to provide you with a ‘soft landing’ inclusive of training on the use of your new building with a full aftercare service. Additionally, your school building will come with a 50-year design life!

There are no limitations to the level of education, whether you’re accommodating for nurseries, or operating within a higher education facility such as a university – our building systems are designed for aesthetic flexibility and enhanced building performance.

Additional accommodation ready for next academy year

We construct our modules in our factory in South Wales, where we then store or deliver them to each client to fulfil the order request. This method of construction allows us to complete our building projects up to 50% quicker than a traditional building. We can provide a range of modern teaching equipment and features so you can make the most of your space. As part of our turnkey service, we can also provide groundwork and landscaping services, including car parks, multi-use games areas and playgrounds.
