Smart Space Temporary Buildings

I thought you might like to see the result of a contract we recently completed at Linecross Ltd in Rutland…..

Because, due to the rural location of the factory, the local planning department were very conscious
of the need for the buildings to blend in with the green belt environment.

To overcome this, we supplied the buildings with grey roof covers, and olive green walls,
and now; three weeks since arriving on site, Linecross have got an additional 19000 sq ft of secure, covered space…..

Another complication was the limited space within which we could erect the buildings
because the entire floor area where the buildings were installed were used for outside racking…

Our installation team overcame this by building part of the structure, enabling the Linecross staff to
store the goods undercover, and also clear the area for the next phase of the build….

Another important point we had to consider were the new CDM regulations, which are more stringent
now than ever before, especially if a contract takes a certain number of man hours, or indeed, spans over
a specific period of time….

Here’s a couple of pictures, which were taken by our installation team as they left site:

 
 
 
 
This image shows the two buildings, one of 65m x 20m and the other a 30m x 15m; both on 6.2m sideheight.

Anyway, if you’d like any advice on the points I’ve mentioned, whether it’s available
colours, or indeed, the CDM regs, let me know and I’ll do all I can to help you….

Temporary Buildings

One of the most frequent questions we are asked is how soon can we have the extra space?
This is a snap-shot of a recent installation we did for a client in Norwich.
They needed a building fabricated to their requirement which took approximately 21 days and then a further 4 days to install.

1st morning, 1st lift nearing completion

End of 1st day, main lifts complete on 50mtr x 20mtr 5.2 side height

2nd day with gable framework and roof covers in place

3rd day with 38mm insulated wall
panels nearing completion

4th day with all roof covers inflated,
and walls and doors in place
 

If only life were that simple………But actually, that is about the top and bottom of it, apart from the planning and project meetings Jason and Andy attended to bring the whole thing together….

And it’s also interesting that this particular client had the option to take up a unit which was empty and available on the same industrial estate, but chose to use one of our buildings because when they worked out the cost of transport (even locally), staffing and their concerns about the handling of the products, they could see that the option to have one of our buildings installed on their existing site, gave them a much greater degree of control, and at a lower overall cost.

So if you are considering taking space in a third-party warehouse, or are considering taking over a short-term lease on an empty building close by, give us a call to get a quote on having one of our buildings installed at your own premises, because you’ll probably be pleasantly surprised at the cost, and how quickly you could be up and running.

And remember, best of all; you don’t make any minimum commitments to keep our buildings for any period of time either, so if you either lose a contract, or things begin to slow down, you simply give us just seven days notice to off hire it, so you never pay for the space for a day longer than you need it.

One of the more unusual inquiries we’ve received recently was from Dean Colum Curry of St. Patrick’s church in Dungannon, Northern Ireland, who called to ask if we could provide a building to be used as a temporary church – of all things, whilst restoration work takes place to the 19th century church…..

And after weeks of consideration and planning, one of our crews has completed the building, which is now being used for services throughout the week…..

The job was made all the more difficult because the car-park where we installed the building has a 2.5m drop over the length of the building, so a steel frame floor was provided to level the surface, and the results are impressive to say the least……..

“Church interior with seating for 700″

The church has purchased a brand new 35mtr x 15mtr insulated building and ordered double glazed windows along one side, which overlook the convent, and provide natural daylight too.

“Raised floor with emergency escape door”

Another clever use of space is the area underneath the raised end of the building, which is to be used for church council meetings, and is accessed through the dooras shown at the bottom of the picture above….

The building has created quite a stir locally and the Northern Ireland press have been involved too, because it’s believed this is the first time atemporary ‘warehouse’ building has been used for this purpose….

So if there’s ever a time when you, or an organisation you know of, needs additional space – for any purpose – let us know and it just may be possible to create the setting you’ve got in mind…….
At a fraction of the cost of building……

Almost anything is possible with a bit of vision, and a lot of planning (which we’ll take care of)
