Modular construction for custodial facilities

Elite Systems have over 30 years of experience in helping prisons to expand or improve their facilities with modular custodial buildings that we build using off-site construction methods. As with any building project, extending or improving custodial accommodation can prove very challenging. Our team is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to help you avoid the most common pitfalls organisations experience when procuring custodial facilities.

This is especially important now, as the UK prison system is facing an unprecedented capacity challenge. The government has acknowledged that building alone will not be sufficient to meet this demand. However, as outlined in the 10-Year Prison Capacity Strategy, the government has committed to delivering 14,000 new prison places by 2031 and investing £2.3 billion over the next two years.

Modern construction for safety and quality

Modular construction can be part of the solution. It is much faster than traditional methods, with significantly reduced lead times. Prisons can improve challenging situations quickly because projects can be delivered on tight timescales. This also means less disruption to the prison’s daily operations. The cost savings of a modular build are also significant. Elite Systems delivers high-quality, fit-for-purpose modular structures within a prison’s budget, offering unrivalled value for money.

We understand that your project must be delivered on time, to budget and to the highest standards, especially when health, safety and security are paramount. Our modern method of construction means that your custodial space will be manufactured off-site resulting in a safer, more quality-controlled build and less disruption to day-to-day operations.

Elite’s presence on the Modular Building Solutions RM6014 framework means that we have already been vetted and approved by Crown Commercial Services. Working with a company on the framework reduces risk and saves time and money.

Our experience allows us to confidently provide all of the services required to achieve the desired result for our clients whether that’s a single-storey custody suite or a multi-storey prison facility. We can accommodate for bespoke features, sizes and designs – the options for improving your custodial facilities for both detainees and staff are almost limitless.

Whatever the need, Elite have the solution

Our turnkey service means that we manage the entire construction process, from planning and building control applications to groundworks, landscaping, and data connections. This allows prison officials to concentrate on their core duties.

Our modular units can be designed to fit any space, including courtyards and quadrangles. The company is not limited to pre-determined module sizes and can develop bespoke layouts to meet any need. We can accommodate the specific needs of each prison, including unusual floor plans, high ceilings, and solar panels. We can create any type of space, including offices, games rooms, gyms, mailrooms, and multi-faith buildings.

Elite Systems works collaboratively with all stakeholders to approach the design as something that not only makes custodial environments better but also provides the right conditions for all those visiting, living and working within them.

Factory controlled quality

Every stage of our modular build is thoroughly checked to ensure strict quality standards are met.

The benefits

Modular custodial suites offer a wide range of benefits to prisons looking for a more flexible, cost effective solution that is still entirely fit for purpose.

All our modular custodial suites and other prison facilities are assembled off-site so unlike the wider construction industry that notoriously suffers from late delivery and over running costs, we’re able to complete projects on time and to budget.

Our modular solutions will not only provide unrivalled value for money but also avoid all the unnecessary disruption that often diverts much needed funds from elsewhere within prison departments.

In short, modular construction is the most effective and efficient way to improve custodial and prison facilities for staff and detainees.

Why choose Elite Systems?

elite-office

Providing safe, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly construction solutions has been at the core of our business from the beginning. With 30 years of experience in the modular industry, we’re able to confidently provide modular solutions to prison departments and custodial facilities of all kinds.

We take responsibility for all of our actions as a business, which include reducing our impact on the environment, minimising disruption and safeguarding whilst we are on site. We even take steps to ensure your building is fully compliant with all necessary and applicable building regulations. These are important factors to consider when choosing a construction company, as a non-compliant building could incur additional costs to adapt in the future.

To ensure the custodial environment is not just compliant, but functional and appropriate, our modular spaces are entirely bespoke and therefore not limited to pre-determined module sizes. Elite Systems’ modern manufacturing facilities allow even greater design flexibility, enabling prisons to utilise free space of any shape and size to accommodate a building – even tricky-to-access areas like courtyards and quadrangles.

Elite Systems are equipped with the expert knowledge required to create innovative designs which result in safe, quality living and working environments for both prison staff and detainees. Our bespoke modular buildings are available as single, double or treble-storey structures, with the option for additional features such as higher ceilings, solar panels and unusual floorplans. We can produce quality modular solutions for all the much-needed custodial facilities, ranging from offices, games rooms, gymnasiums, mail rooms, group rooms and multi-faith buildings.

When choosing to work with Elite Systems, you have the option for us to work with your existing project handler to create a bespoke solution that suits architect’s specifications or handle every aspect of your project as part of our turnkey service. This includes planning and building control applications, groundworks, landscaping, specialist furniture, fire and security systems and even data connections.

We pride ourselves on delivering high quality, bespoke modular structures in a fraction of the time and for a fraction of the budget required to construct a custodial suite using traditional building methods. Our projects can be delivered on tight timescales, ensuring that you get the extra space you need on time and on budget; offering peace of mind and delivering prison environments that are not just better for those who live there, but also provide suitable conditions for all those working within and visiting them.
