The brief was to create a building that houses 2 large office spaces that could be used for client meetings, a small kitchenette area, and a bathroom for use by staff and customers. There was also a requirement for a large storage area on the side of the building.

The building sits on a concrete forecourt, but we decided to use the latest screw pile technology for the foundations to ensure that the building was 100% level. This is our preferred method of foundations as it negates the need for a large concrete pad and can be installed in a matter of hours. This was one of the largest projects we have worked on to date, with a total building size of 15 x 4m, with multiple rooms. As always we used our light gauge steel, rolled off our very own FRAMECAD machine to construct this build. The software we use is able to take a detailed design drawing and create all the individual pieces of steel needed for erection. The steel frame for this build was erected in just 3 days!

The building was then fully insulated, plastered and decorated on the inside and finished with beautiful 2-tone grey (light grey & anthracite grey) composite cladding on the outside. Our woodgrain composite cladding is the perfect way to achieve a real wood effect without the effort, thanks to its attractive embossed wood grain finish. This type of cladding is extremely low maintenance as it doesn’t require painting, staining, treating or sealing. The customer chose black aluminium windows and doors of various sizes for this build. Beautiful large windows on both sides of the office spaces fill the building with natural light, whilst a large set of french doors at the front of the building open up onto the large forecourt. All of our windows and doors meet building regulations specification standards of enhanced security performance.

We worked closely with the customer to ensure that the finish inside the building met all their requirements. All electrical and plumbing work was completed by specialist tradesmen to ensure it was fully operational as quickly as possible. A stylish yet functional kitchen and bathroom area, caters for all staff and customer needs, whilst 2 large offices with feature walls give lots of space for sales staff to meet and entertain clients.

Finally, the building was finished with a EPDM rubber roofing system that comes with a 20 year warranty. Our roofing systems are BBA approved and with their life expectancy standing at an impressive 50 years, this is an incredibly durable and long-lasting product.
