Accord™: Specification-led Buildings, Built Around Your Vision

The latest off-site construction solution from Glasdon adapts to your bespoke specification.

Off-site construction offers many benefits for site managers. Not only are buildings delivered fully assembled for quick and easy ground-fixing, but any disruption caused to the site is short and hassle-free, compared to lengthy on-site construction.

However, traditional modular buildings aren’t always suitable for your site. If your requirements are more specific in nature, or if the aesthetic of your site necessitates a particular visual appeal, you might want to design in detail how your building performs and how it appears.

Glasdon recently unveiled our new Accord™ Building Module for that exact purpose – to deliver the benefits of off-site manufactured solutions without having to compromise on functionality.




Accord At A Glance

Accord is created with flexibility in mind, allowing you ultimate freedom in configuring a building that matches your design intent.

Unlike fixed-specification modular buildings (which use a defined panel system), Accord is built using a hot-rolled steel structural frame instead. This allows wall frames to be fully configured, with doors, windows, and openings able to be positioned anywhere to suit the building’s function. Whatever you envision your layout to be, Accord can make it a reality.

Additionally, Accord’s appearance can be modified to suit the aesthetic of your site. Whether it be conforming to brand guidelines, blending into an existing site’s motif, or standing out in a high-traffic area, Accord offers full visual control over its exterior. It isn’t limited to standard finishes – a wide range of cladding options are available to help achieve your desired look.

Accord is a compact but versatile single-storey building module, with a maximum footprint of 10m x 3.0m. The unit is ideal for any small external functions that require a building, such as retail spaces, pop-up stores, security gatehouses, small office suites, visitor points, or welfare hubs.

  • Configurable wall frames allow unique layouts and orientations.
  • Bespoke specification determines everything from finish to performance.
