6. Ground preparation and services

Before your new building arrives, your site location will need to be prepared.

This will involve installing suitable foundations and the required services (water, power and drainage).

Modular Building Consultants evaluate the supplier’s proposals; a compliance matrix is created for all proposals received and a full report is issued.

The return on your investment comes from a faster, more efficient service with single point access to all suppliers and our industry knowledge to get the best value.

Good procurement helps to ensure that projects are delivered on time and within budget and provide a clear and transparent audit trail.

3. Sourcing suitable manufacturers

Modular Building Consultants will create a proposal document based on your specific requirements. This will typically include:

Specifications for the building type and structure
Layout plans and room data sheets
Details of internal fixtures and fittings including mechanical & electrical specifications
Project Health & Safety requirements
Contract documents including payment terms

The structural elements of a building and how it is manufactured plays a key role in assessing the whole of life cost and ultimately value for money. It is important to match your specific criteria (budget, building design layout, building use) with the modular building manufacturers who can offer you the best solution.

1. Your Project Brief

We start with understanding your project requirements, including quality objectives, project outcomes and budget.

We prepare a feasibility study to detail:

Project budget planning
Project timescales and outline programme
Review of your preferred site location(s) for modular installation and access
Sustainability aspirations

This will assist in identifying your needs and objectives, suitable site locations, the business case and any possible constraints on the project.

2. Building design and specification

We work with you to create a modular building design and interior layout that is tailored specifically to what you what to achieve and that maximises efficiency.

A well prepared building specification document will itemise your exact requirements. Detailing the scope of works and quality, the specification document is used to check the work being completed on site and the final product being handed over. It forms a key part of the contract documentation and ensures the completed building meets your expectations.

As part of our initial discussions, we establish exactly what your requirements are and work to create a brief which explores every area of your business.

A workplace appraisal is carried out to address key areas:

What space is required?
How can you maximise communication between departments?
What proportion of open-plan space is appropriate versus cellular space?
Do you require space for future growth?
Wrong property decisions can result in occupying too much or too little space which is expensive.
