We were delighted to have sunny weather yesterday during our site visit for an upcoming exciting project this year. The Elsi system will be implemented to create a completely self-sustaining accommodation on a cooperative farm. By utilizing our cost-effective manufacturing method, the stringent requirements necessary to achieve this goal are now accessible to a wider range of clients. We are eager to demonstrate how timber frame housing, combined with modern technology, can deliver a comprehensive off-grid solution. #offgrid #sustainableconstruction #sustainableliving #timberframe #offsite
About us
We specialise in the design, fabrication, and construction of residential buildings for housing developers. Our unique product centres on an offsite-manufactured, Kit of Parts timber frame construction system, that leverages the benefits of modern methods of design, engineering and construction defining a new standard of modern building practices. Our advanced fabrication facility enables us to fabricate high-quality building assets with minimal waste. System designs are optimised to maximise stock material usage, drastically reducing the amount of waste generated compared to conventional construction methods. This efficiency is not only beneficial for sustainability and the environment but also for our clients, as it translates to cost-effectiveness and reliability.

When developing a new system, numerous inquiries arise regarding its functionality, core concepts, materials, assembly process, with the most common question being 'What does elsi stand for?'. Comparisons are often drawn with other systems like volumetric and a Kit of Parts. Despite the Kit of Parts being a relatively new term in construction, we have been refining this concept for over 12 years, incorporating our extensive knowledge into the elsi system. Recently, we have observed a dilution of the term Kit of Parts from its original context when we initiated the off-site revolution. While designing the system, our priority was the functionality, quality, and value we offer to our clients. We aimed to establish a brand that not only showcases our expertise but also distinguishes us from the commonly advertised Kit of Parts. Upon reviewing various off-site and modern construction methods, the uniqueness of the elsi system became evident. We wanted our name to not only differentiate itself like the system but also clarify its essence. When asked 'What does elsi stand for?' and 'What system is elsi?', we proudly state that ‘elsi’ in an elsi system stands for Ecologically Low-impact Structural Innovation. The elsi system is adaptable to various formats and is architecturally neutral, eliminating the need for a specific typology. Its application spans across residential, commercial, and educational settings. You do not have to conform your designs to fit the system; rather, the elsi system is crafted to accommodate your needs. #mmc #sustainability #sustainableconstruction #ukconstruction #ukmanufacturing #sustainablemanufacturing #timber #timberframe #timberhousing

The electric revolution is here - The new Elsi all-electric fleet has hit the road. In addition to using sustainable materials and mindful assembly processes, we fuel our office and charge our fleet with renewable energy sources. Sustainability should be integrated throughout the company, from design to delivery. #mmc #sustainability #sustainableconstruction #sustainablemanufacturing #kitofparts #ukmanufacturing #ukconstruction #timber #timberframe #timberhome
