1 PLANNING

All new units are first planned and designed on our specialized software to ensure the lay-out is paramount. These plans are then submitted to the client for comments and approval. Only once these have been approved, do we start with the construction of the unit.

All units are designed, built and fitted according to your unique requirements by our expert craftsmen, using only the highest quality material. The general specifications of our units are:
Chassis

Units are constructed either on a pre-cast re-enforced concrete slab or, where mobility is required, on a steel chassis. Concrete slabs are normally 200mm thick with a foundation of 300mm, and is re-enforced with 8mm mesh. Chassis are normally manufactured from either 300mm or 200mm lipped channel –(depending on the length of the unit)) with steel and/or wooden support diagonally to ensure a rigid platform. On this chassis, we fit a treated 18mm plywood floor which is securely held in place. The unit stands on steel jacks (adjustable) and are fitted with steel steps. Units may also be manufactured on site on a cement slab to save transport costs.

Floor

Although we fit vinyl floor tiles as standard, we can easily fit carpet tiles according to the client's requirements. On stationary units, normal floor tiles may also be laid.

Additional

Disability ramps with rails, verandas, and awnings can be added to most units at a slight additional charge.

1 WALL PANELS

Wall Panels (both External and Internal) are 40mm thick panels with 0.5mm thick chromadeck sheeting on both sides. Wood panelling may also be used on the inside on request. The panels are secured in place using a variety of both galvanized steel and aluminium extrusions, are fire proof and provide the insulation qualities of a double-brick wall. The walls are fitted to the chassis using a secure locking system to ensure a smooth, flush finish of great structural integrity.

ROOFING

Roofing - The roof is normally manufactured from the same panels as the walls. On bigger units, IBR sheeting is used with rhinoboard / suspended ceilings.

All joints are waterproofed, which, together with the fall of the roof, ensures that there is no water penetration. Gutters, drain pipes and flashings are fitted as required.

Blinds and burglar bars can be fitted at an additional charge. Different windows can be fitted on demand and can be incorporated in the design at the planning stage.
