Modular Construction based on a timber fame is a more flexible system and can meet a large variety of needs.


A


s a modern method of construction, modular buildings using timber frame are far more versatile than you might think. Each building can be


designed to the specific needs of the customer and make best use of the available space. This means that there is no limit to how this construction method can be used. TG Escapes provide modular eco-buildings to education with over 800


complete projects in the UK. All our buildings have been designed by our in-house architects delivering


projects from 60 m2 m to 2000 m2. They include flat and pitched roofs, 2 storeys, large span studios and intimate breakout spaces. They are used for canteens, chapels, changing facilities, kiosks, training centres, cafes as well as offices and classrooms. Our sectional modular process saves time and money versus a traditional


build. This means less time onsite, causing less disruption, which is particularly important when educational continuity is paramount.


“The School and City Council really liked the end product concepts and we worked to benchmark TG Escapes against other providers as well as visiting a scheme in progress beforehand.” Building Consultancy Project Manager

Our turnkey solutions include planning permissions (where required), site preparation by dedicated groundworks experts and full safety compliance. We offer a variety of finishes including timber or composite cladding, render in a range of colours and brick slips.


Supporting CIF bids We have a dedicated team including in house design and pre-contract resource committed to supporting customers with tenders, grants and bids. We have developed a strong track record of supporting schools and consultants with CIF bids and applications. Many customers have found that early engagement with TG Escapes has provided a solid foundation for an enhanced bid enabling them to provide a robust submission that is market tested and extensively assessed for viability. Ultimately this serves to de-risk the CIF process and gives the applicant the best possible chance of success in gaining funding for their projects.

“TG Escapes were very efficient and accommodating, the team fitted into the school perfectly and the children loved watching the builders work on the new project.” Chartered Building Surveyor


Long lasting and highly energy efficient structures Our buildings are permanent structures built using sustainable materials. Our timber frames are highly insulated and perform exceptionally well versus a cavity wall construction. Our buildings are designed to be aesthetically pleasing, ergonomic and highly practical but, just as importantly, they are built to last 60 years or more with appropriate maintenance. Education needs and approaches may well be very different in the future


and our timber buildings are far more adaptable than a rigid brick option. A significant consequence of the way in which our buildings are


constructed is that they are highly energy efficient to run and are classed at least as A+-rated structures or ‘Net Zero’ in operation.


Good for well-being Easy access to the outdoors and nature is now more important then ever. It helps with well-being and is proven to improve educational outcomes. Deck areas and wide canopies can be easily accessed with large external doors and can be a helpful tool in managing social distancing. TG Escapes buildings use natural materials and provide huge amounts of


natural light and can also feature more biophilic design elements such as nature spaces outside supporting biodiversity. A Construction Line Gold member, and an approved partner of the


Institute of School Business Leadership (ISBL), customers score us 4.9 out of 5 based on 156 reviews.


“Working with TG Escapes was very good. The buildings provide a better-quality environment for staff and students.” Estates & Facilities Manager
