Modern Methods for Modern Housing challenges

Ulo is proud to offer a precision-engineered Light Gauge Steel Framed (LGSF) off-site modular and panelised building solution. This enables us to build faster, in volume, with less disruption, to more precise and consistent standards and in a more environmentally friendly way.

Operational benefits

Speed and cost certainty

• Up to 50% faster delivery than traditional builds with controlled factory environment

• Reduced cost overruns and weather-related delays

• Predictable build costs that improve budget planning and delivery

Site optimisation and flexibility

• Unlocks difficult infill, brownfield, or "unviable" sites that traditional developers avoid

• Minimal construction footprint with reduced site disruption and traffic

• Ideal for constrained urban sites near schools or existing housing

Quality and scalability

• Precision-engineered components ensure consistent, high-performance standards

• Enhanced compliance with building regulations and energy efficiency requirements

• Replicable designs support stable and predictable volume delivery

Social and sustainability benefits

Environmental performance

• Lower embodied and operational carbon with efficient material use and reduced waste

• Enhanced environmental performance compared to traditional construction methods

• Easier integration of energy-efficient systems supporting net zero goals

Community impact

• Reduced local disruption through quieter sites with fewer personnel and vehicle movements

• Better community relations with minimal noise and construction disturbance

• Helps councils meet housing targets without green belt development pressure

Local economic development

• Supports local training, apprenticeships, and job creation opportunities

• Enables local SME involvement in groundworks, services, and final fit-outs

• Creates sustainable employment pathways in the construction sector
