What is a typical wall construction made of?

We offer a range of products which have different wall constructions to suit specific project requirements in terms of fire, thermal and acoustic performance. Our systems have been independently tested and can achieve fire resistance in excess of 60 minutes.

How easily can your buildings be reconfigured internally or extended?

Alterations to the internal layout of your building can be easily accommodated at a later date.  At handover we will provide a comprehensive ‘as-built’ manual, containing all relevant building structure information and health and safety details necessary for managing future alterations.

Can you match buildings to existing external elevations?

Yes, our building systems can be designed to accommodate a full pallet of architectural finishes using a range of external materials.  Some external treatments are more suited to offsite construction than others, by allowing installation of cladding in our factory rather than on-site.  Our experienced engineering teams can provide advice and guidance on suitable cladding systems.

How many storeys high can your buildings go up to?

Our standard products are designed to provide accommodation up to 4 storeys high. However, we can also offer custom products to achieve taller structures to suit specific project requirements

What are your maximum internal spans without columns?

Our standard products are designed to achieve clear span of up between 8 and 12m, depending on the product used. However, we can offer bespoke solutions to meet specific project requirements.

Can you provide a full turn-key service?

Yes. We can deal with all aspects of the project including local council statutory permissions, all preparatory groundworks as well as the design, manufacture and delivery of the building. We can also act as a main contractor, taking on overall responsibility for a whole project, managed to HSE CDM Regulations, including all health & safety on site.

What building design input and resources does Algeco Offsite Solutions have available?

We have a full technical team, including CAD design technicians, ready to produce building design proposals. We also have a network of supplementary external consultants and design teams to call on when required.
