Permanent steel classrooms, teaching space and halls, for schools, colleges, and universities
A far better alternative to modular portacabin style modular buildings for long term use
Smart-Space Permanent Steel Education and Schools Buildings are designed to meet your exact dimensions and specifications.
Permanent Steel Buildings are designed long term use and designed to meet all building regulations and any fire rating requirements.
The roof covers and wall cladding are in steel in a range of gauges depending upon insulation requirements.
Our bespoke steel buildings are constructed using steel uprights and roof beams, with steel roof panels and steel wall panels screwed into place for permanent fixing. Steel buildings do require a firm solid foundation which can be specified by our engineer. We can then arrange for the installation of the concrete pad.
Advantages
Considerations
- Totally maintenance-free
- 100% watertight
- Very low base cost due to lightweight design of the building system.
- Very low capital cost compared to a conventional industrial/commercial building.
- As secure as any other conventional building
- Can be specified to meet latest Part L2 Building Regulations (conservation of fuel and power)
- Clear roof-light panels supplied for natural daylight to minimise lighting requirements
- Parts and cladding warranties of up to 35 years
- Fabricated to your exact size requirements up to 25mtr clear span and 8mtr side heights
- Complies with all insurance requirements
- Complies with all Building Control Regulations
- Can be financed through mortgage or capital loan as an asset (because it's not demountable)
- Adds to the overall asset value of the property like any other conventional building.
Considerations
- Requires far more detailed project planning and project management than a temporary building
- Requires a level concrete pad or base (Or a level tarmac base)
- Takes much longer to obtain permissions from local authorities than a temporary building
- Added costs of applying for all necessary permissions and new building warrant
- May well (depending upon size) be subject to CDM regulations (which incurs additional costs)
