Andes Range

Pre-Designed School Buildings – 3D Volumetric Modular Construction

Edubuild’s Andes Range provides school buildings using 3D volumetric modular construction. Modules are manufactured and part fitted-out off-site, then craned into position – giving the shortest on-site period of our three ranges, with work programmed around school holidays to minimise disruption. Groundworks can be completed in one holiday period, modules manufactured through term time, and craned into place during the next holiday. Buildings can be multiple storeys high, and whilst we have a range utilising typical module sizes, ultimately any configuration is possible.

Andes buildings are available in a range of configurations and sizes to suit your site and pupil numbers. Because most of the fit-out happens off-site, on-site works are kept to a minimum, and groundworks can happen concurrently to module manufacture – though as with any volumetric build, the design does need to be finalised earlier in the programme to allow for manufacturing lead times.

Key Features:

3D volumetric modules, manufactured and part fitted-out off-site
Mono pitch roof. Aluminium textured cladding as standard, but can be timber-effect cladding, or brick slips to mimic traditional construction. Powder-coated PVC or aluminium windows and doors
Typically less cost-effective, as each module requires sacrificial steelwork and only one module can be transported at a time. Not cost effective when used for sports halls or other facilities that require large open spaces
Shortest installation time on site, but longer manufacture period required. Design needs to be signed off earlier in view of this
Maximum construction work completed in a controlled factory environment
MVHR ventilation and electric heating as standard
Optional extras: PV panels, Dual or multiple pitch roof, enhanced acoustics, FF&E. Improved thermal features to achieve BREEAM accreditation

Backed by Envoplan Group’s in-house design and delivery team. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, CHAS and SafeContractor approved.
