MODULAR BUILDING SERVICES
CASE STUDIES
When the time came to build a new six classroom block (with toilet
facilities), the MRC option offered a more cost effective answer than traditional construction.
This unit was manufactured in our factory over a two-week period and then
erected on site, made watertight, equipped and ready for use in just two and a half weeks from delivery. In fact,
the entire project, from laying concrete foundations to fitting the carpets, took just six weeks.
The walls were pre-finished with vinyl on plasterboard, meaning that there were
no ‘wet trades’ on site, which helped speed-up the assembly of the unit considerably. Each module came with
doors and double-glazed
windows, internal partitioning and lighting ready for use. The thermal
insulation and advanced heating and ventilation systems comply fully with current Building Regulations – exactly the
same regulations as a traditionally
built construction.
All works were carried out by MRC’s own operatives, using our own plant and
equipment, and without involving
subcontractors.
The result was completion right on schedule – enabling the students to start the
new term in style
While year-long upgrading work to its existing
facilities was in progress, the club required a high specification changing facility – four changing rooms with showers and toilets in a high
performance Plastisol finish.
This unit was manufactured in our factory over a two-week period, with one week
to install the unit and prepare it for use, and a further three weeks on site for all the completion works. Extra
time was taken to install specialised heat-controlled shower units to our client’s high specification. This project
was designed by us in collaboration with the football club to ensure their satisfaction.
From start date to possession, then, the work was completed in just eight weeks
– another successful project
carried out by MRC and its workforce.
A four-classroom music suite with toilet facilities, to include an additional
tarmac parking area, and concrete and brick ramps for disabled access – this was the County Council’s demanding brief,
made even more demanding by the requirement for completion within eight weeks.
To enable the school to use the music suite whilst the above installation was
taking place, we also provided a further four classroom unit on a temporary hire basis – both projects conforming
to all relevant building control requirements and providing specialist sound-proofing and wall boarding.
The speed and flexibility of the MRC system enabled us to complete the project
on time and to our clients’
satisfaction.
