At Wernick Buildings, we specialise in the design and manufacture of permanent modular buildings. Our sophisticated and sustainable off-site building solutions inspire creative architectural individuality while ensuring accelerated project delivery.
Our unique approach harnesses all the properties of traditional build performance, but with the added benefits of market-leading offsite manufacture techniques and technologies.
What is modular construction?
Modular construction involves manufacturing modules in a controlled factory environment, which are then transported to the site and seamlessly connected to form a complete building. This innovative method offers numerous advantages over traditional construction techniques, including enhanced efficiency, reduced waste, and superior quality control.
Additionally, with cladding options available, your modular building can blend into its surroundings or be a standalone architectural piece.
From the outset, you'll be assigned a dedicated project lead, providing you with a single point of contact to guide you through every stage of your project. They will oversee your project from inception to completion, coordinating all activities to ensure its success.
Working collaboratively, we take full control of your project, offering a comprehensive turnkey solution. Our extensive team of in-house chartered professionals is equipped to meet your specific requirements, while our dedicated construction division ensures seamless on-site delivery.
Supporting healthcare expansion through modular excellence
Meeting the growing demands of modern healthcare facilities is a challenge faced across the sector, particularly where time constraints, budget limitations, and site complexities are at play. Modular construction offers a proven, high-quality alternative to traditional building methods—enabling healthcare providers to scale their estate with speed, precision, and minimal disruption. Whether delivering additional ward space, specialist treatment areas, or administrative offices, modular buildings provide fully compliant, flexible spaces that are built for performance and longevity.
Fast, efficient delivery with minimal disruption
Off-site manufacturing plays a critical role in reducing programme times and mitigating risks. At Wernick, our modular solutions are built in a controlled factory environment, allowing site preparation and module fabrication to happen simultaneously. Once delivered, buildings are installed with minimal on-site activity, reducing noise, dust, and disruption—vital in live healthcare environments. Modular facilities can be delivered and ready for fit-out in a matter of days, allowing providers to respond quickly to increasing patient demands and evolving clinical needs.
Compliant, customisable, and built for care
Designed in line with current Health Building Notes (HBN) and Health Technical Memoranda (HTM), Wernick’s healthcare buildings meet the stringent compliance and operational requirements of the NHS and private providers alike. From operating theatres and recovery wards to GP suites, staff rooms and triage areas, our modular systems can be tailored to your specific brief, with the flexibility to adapt and expand as needs evolve.
Our buildings are not only designed to support critical services during planned expansions—they also enable rapid response in emergency situations. Isolation wards, intensive care units, and other essential facilities can be delivered at speed without compromising on patient care or staff safety. Modular spaces are fully futureproofed to accommodate upgrades, integration with existing infrastructure, and changes in clinical workflows.
A sustainable solution
Healthcare buildings from Wernick are designed with sustainability and staff well-being in mind. Energy-efficient features, including high-performance insulation, LED lighting, and ventilation with heat recovery, reduce running costs and environmental impact. Internally, modular layouts can incorporate rest areas, kitchenettes, and support facilities that promote staff comfort and retention. As part of a low-waste construction process, our buildings also help meet wider NHS carbon reduction goals.
