Development overview

Edinburgh Way in Harlow delivered 361 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments across five residential blocks ranging from seven to ten storeys. Located just a short walk from Harlow Town train station, the development offers excellent commuter links into London while bringing much-needed new homes to the area.

British Offsite was engaged by Weston Homes to manufacture and supply its advanced UNisystem^SFS light gauge steel system to form the superstructure. Installed in 2022, the offsite solution supported the delivery of this large-scale, high-density scheme with a focus on programme certainty, site efficiency, and quality assurance.

Due to the development’s proximity to the railway line, a range of window specifications were integrated within the UNisystem^SFS panels to achieve the necessary acoustic performance. This precision-engineered, panelised system consolidates multiple trades into a single offsite process, enabling faster envelope completion and reducing reliance on traditional site labour.

This approach helped the project team mitigate logistical challenges on a multi-block site, ensuring a faster, safer, and more consistent build process while delivering high-quality homes for Weston Homes. (more…)

Victoria Central in Southend-on-Sea delivers 217 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments across 14 storeys on a tight 0.98-acre site. Completed in August 2022 in just 143 weeks, the scheme combines urban convenience with coastal living.

British Offsite was engaged to manufacture and supply UNisystem^SFS to form the superstructure. As a high-density scheme with a constrained footprint, the development posed logistical challenges, including limited delivery and storage capacity in an urban setting. The goal was to secure the building envelope quickly, minimising on-site personnel and disruption, while ensuring programme certainty.

The solution came through British Offsite’s advanced UNisystem^SFS light gauge steel system — a pre-manufactured panel complete with insulation, doors, windows, vent apertures, fire stopping, and façade fixing systems. By consolidating five trades into one offsite process, the system was delivered from final design to site in just 120 days, enabling a fast and efficient installation.

This approach allowed dry envelopes to be completed 14 weeks faster than traditional methods — a 20% programme time saving. The accelerated build reduced exposure to weather delays, improved health and safety, streamlined fit-out, and allowed earlier property viewings, boosting sales and improving cashflow for the client.
