Innovative prefabricated homes are set to be craned into an existing building on Bristol\u2019s famous Park Street<\/h2>\n

Urban Creation<\/a> is behind the pioneering approach that will see prefabricated homes craned into an existing building on Park Street in Bristol.<\/p>\n

Modular construction<\/a> has been used widely for new builds, but this is believed to be the first time in the UK that homes have been specially made to fit into the shell of an existing building.<\/p>\n

The site \u2013 50 Park Street \u2013 was formerly a nightclub but was vacant and in a dilapidated condition when Urban Creation bought it in in 2018.<\/p>\n

Over three nights, from 11-13 August\u00a0between the hours of 8pm and 5am, nine prefabricated homes will be lifted into 50 Park Street through the open roof into the cleared shell of the building, after having been driven by lorry from a factory in Southampton. Urban Creation has applied to Bristol City Council<\/a> to have Park Street closed during these hours.<\/p>\n

Urban Creation has teamed up with modular construction specialist Go Modular<\/a> on the project, which has created bespoke, ready-to-go homes built specially to fit into the building. The apartments are already fully fitted out and decorated with kitchens and bathrooms already in place.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Brecknell, director at Urban Creation, said: \u201cWe\u2019re very excited to be taking modular construction to a new level, using a highly innovative approach that could have huge implications for home building in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n

The building team has already stripped out 50 Park Street, removing the internal floors and walls, stabilised the shell of the building with a steel structure ready for the big lift-in.<\/p>\n

The homes at 50 Park Street will be let to the student market.<\/p>\n
