| Three-story site accommodation for London construction site  The £13.8 million building project of four luxury homes required a three-storey solution to accommodate workers efficiently and to provide suitable office space with canteen and toilet facilities, as space on-site was minimal. The modular building provider Konstructa Hire was the only company who could provide the right site accommodation for the right price. Other pre-fabricated site building providers were quoting above Bell Projects' budget, or were unable to provide a three storey site accommodation solution. Construction began on the Hampstead project in June 2007 and the site accommodation was up and running just three days.John Lindsey, Senior Site Manager at Bell Projects says: "Having researched suitable site-accommodation providers, only Konstructa was able to triple stack the buildings. We were absolutely delighted with the all-steel construction of cabins and they are much wider and longer than the usual site cabins. It is the best site accommodation I have ever had!" After Bell Projects made the initial call to Konstructa Hire, a representative visited their site the very next day. Work soon began to prepare the ground level for the installation of the 12 units in two, triple-stacked, linked complexes. The units were loaded on to level concrete pads from the road by tower crane and the site accommodation was up and running within three days. John adds: "The delivery of the buildings went very smoothly. We were very impressed by what was achieved within a short time-frame. Konstructa also supplied the furniture so we were up and running very quickly. The accommodation has exceeded all our expectations and we are just as delighted with the professional service." write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
