Interim office complex

The interim modular building, which will be in-situ for three years, is based at the Heritage Motor Centre. It has space for 550 staff, enabling Jaguar Land Rover to bring its sales and design teams together under one roof.

The two-storey facility comprises more than 100 steel-framed modules and was fitted with a lift, stair pods, toilets, tea points and upgraded internal partitioning and doors. Portakabin installed a high-specification air conditioning and ventilation system within a suspended ceiling and the scheme accommodates a commercial kitchen. Other features included fire alarms, access control, CCTV, steps, smoking shelter, ramps and a cycle store.

Portakabin was able to provide an extensive service for this bespoke project, including managing the Building Control application for all works on site, giving Jaguar Land Rover the speed of delivery it required for the building.  Despite the challenging weather conditions of exceptionally heavy rainfall which delayed ground works, Portakabin still achieved the programme with careful co-ordination between contractors.
