Modular construction for custodial facilities

Elite Systems have over 25 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.

Modern construction for safety and quality

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.

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

Elite Systems have worked directly with many prisons and also support service providers to create facilities such as:

  • Custodial suites
  • Games rooms
  • Gymnasiums
  • Mail rooms
  • Offices
  • Multi-faith buildings

Elite work 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.

Our accreditations

We’re proud to have earned a wide range of industry accreditations which are testament to our professional standards and quality workmanship.

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?

The Elite team having a meeting in their offices

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.
