Elliott Off-Site Building Solutions has secured a two year framework agreement with McDonalds UK to design and build both single storey and new two storey restaurants.
The restaurants will be constructed using Elliott’s highly engineered volumetric units at the company’s 13 acre site in Carnaby, North Yorkshire.
The buildings are notable for numerous innovations, such as, lightweight structure, micro concrete floors and, with over 90% of the building completed off-site, it enables the McDonald’s Restaurants to be open for business 4-weeks after delivery to site.
One of the key benefits to McDonald’s UK is that the Elliott buildings are produced under strict factory controlled conditions, which enables them to meet the company’s exacting quality standards and ensure that quality is consistent across all new restaurants.
70% of the large panellised cladding elements and mansard roof systems are constructed entirely off-site and shipped to site as a flat pack. These are then erected into position on site using mobile elevating work platforms.
The volumetric units, in addition to providing the structural integrity of the building, have all of the services incorporated, such as Mechanical and Electrical installations, ready for simple on site connection. Together with a factory fitted kitchen, dining area furniture and crew room, it makes for more efficient construction as well as a tidier and safer site
The Elliott off-site building process significantly reduces environmental impact of the buildings, whilst improving whole life performance, which aligns with McDonald’s ongoing commitment to build in a more sustainable way.
Conventional modular systems would have struggled to meet the demands posed by McDonald’s UK, in particular the quality requirements.
Elliott Off-Site Buildings Solutions was able to adapt its operating methods in order to not just meet, but exceed what could be achieved by volumetric modular construction.
“Our highly engineered volumetric units allow us to meet the demanding requirements posed on these types of large and progressive contracts,” said Paul Lang, Managing Director of Elliott Off-Site Building Solutions. “We have already completed our first McDonalds restaurant with many more to follow in the next few weeks and months.”
Richard England, New Build Construction Manager for McDonald’s UK, said: “McDonalds selects it suppliers very carefully and we chose Elliott Off-Site because of its proven ability to manufacture high quality volumetric units to our bespoke specifications.”
Elliott Off-Site Building Solutions has over 45 years of delivering innovative off-site design and build solutions and is able to help clients achieve the highest environmental ratings and carbon neutrality.
