Greencore | Offsite manufacturing

A smarter approach

to sustainable housebuilding

Budget and timescale overruns are common on many self-build and development projects. Often, unforeseen on-site delays are to blame, especially with our unpredictable weather.

We build the hemp-lime panels that make up your home’s superstructure in our factory. This offsite housebuilding approach means we can minimise the time spent on-site so your project runs to schedule and budget.

What’s more, once the hemp-lime panels arrive on site, they can be installed straight away – taking your home to a weather tight state in just a few days.

Why build hemp-lime panels offsite?

Traditionally, hemp-lime is placed into a building as a wet mix on site. Before any finishes can be applied, the mix must dry out completely – a frustratingly long process. Our factory-made panel system eliminates this problem.

The hemp-lime panels are fabricated offsite and delivered in a fully dried and ready-to-build state. And because the panels are made under factory conditions, you can be sure they will fit closely and be easy to erect.

Other benefits of offsite manufacturing

Our wall panels are manufactured within a tightly managed process so that quality can be assured.
Floor and roof cassettes (with insulation and roof lights fitted) can be manufactured in the factory to speed up construction and deliver high quality standards.
