Project Brief

Originally designed as traditional build, Essex County Council, recognised the benefits of off-site construction and commissioned Elite Systems to provide two factory manufactured modular buildings, a welfare facility and weighbridge office for Great Dunmow Waste Transfer Station.

 

 

Our Approach

For the two storey welfare facility Elite, following a detailed review of the original plans, developed their timber frame multi-storey system with custom fabricated steel work to support the projecting edge details, designed to complement the architecture of the main building.

Both the two storey welfare facility and the factory manufactured single storey weighbridge office were finished in profiled steel and render and benefitted from a sedum roof to enhance biodiversity and reduce rainwater run-off.

All internal finishes along with electrics and plumbing were again undertaken off-site ensuring the highest standards of build.
