What funding options are available?
Algeco Offsite Solutions finance packages are available for permanent structures, including sale and long-term lease packages. We also offer hire options for temporary buildings, which are different products and specifications to our permanent structures.
Is any preparation or other work required by others?
Algeco Offsite Solutions is able to offer a building above ground on foundations prepared by others, or a full turn-key package with Algeco Offsite Solutions acting as main contractor. The choice is yours.
How do you determine access arrangements?
A full site survey is undertaken on every project to determine access and the maximum module sizes that can be used. We use pad foundations as standard, with specifications dependent on the specific site ground conditions.
What is the life-expectancy of a building?
Our temporary buildings have been independently assessed and given a life expectancy of up to 25 years. Permanent structures comparable to traditional construction have a design life of 50 or 60 years.
How are power, drainage, water, data and IT services managed?
All mechanical, electrical, plumbing and ICT installations can be included in your building specification. Alternatively, Algeco Offsite Solutions can make provision for cableways to allow your own sub-contractors to install systems as required.
What are the ceiling and service void depths?
Voids range between 200-600mm deep, depending on the building design and products used.
What is the clear floor to ceiling height of modules?
Subject to product type and specific requirements of the project, we can provide buildings with a structural, clear opening of up to 3.3m high, allowing for a 2.7m suspended ceiling height whilst still maintaining a 0.6m service zone.
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.
