With more than 30 years’ experience we have the knowledge and expertise to make your modular building a reality. For an informal discussion on your requirements please complete the form below and one of our team will be in touch.
Our Approach
The in-factory build was straightforward, needing just a week for our expert team to complete, including the installation of extra glazing and sound insulation to mitigate any noise from the adjacent railway line. As part of this, we created an inner wall with an air gap to prevent reverberation, achieving acoustic performance level of 60dB Rw.
The challenges came on site, with narrow roads and a line of trees to negotiate. The height of the structure meant that it was transported on low trailers, before being craned onto shorter trailers at the school to move the modular classroom to its final site. The building was craned over the treeline and into place.
We spent just four weeks on-site installing the building, including fitting a pumping station, hoop-top fencing and gates, and cladding the classroom in an attractive cedar finish.
The Results
The new modular reception classroom comfortably passed the requirements for low emissions, and achieved a B Energy Performance Asset Rating in recognition of its energy efficiency. The cedar finish, which was treated around the door and then left to weather naturally across the rest of the building, creates an aesthetically striking effect.
