Minimising disruption to clients’ commercial activities is a key objective of any refurbishment project.

Traditionally, building owners and their contractors have had two options; to cease doing or offering whatever it is that usually occupies the affected areas for the duration of the project or to try to squeeze this into a reduced footprint whilst construction work takes place alongside.

Whilst the aim of any refurbishment project is to allow clients to deliver an enhanced service, ironically, the associated inconvenience has the potential to put off customers, and occasionally staff,

possibly for good.

And, whether it be an industrial building, a sports or leisure facility or an ongoing programme of store refurbishments, no modern organisation can afford to lose business or people.

Enter Spaciotempo, the temporary architecture specialist, with the ability to provide another option – a temporary building which allows clients to decant their activities and retain full operational capacity during site expansion, renovation

and improvement projects.

From a basic structure suitable for industrial applications through to a temporary retail store complete with fully insulated roof and raised vinyl flooring to provide an attractive and comfortable shopping environment, Spaciotempo provides a complete service from design through to installation, including manufacture and maintenance.

Whilst buildings can be supplied from stock in 48 hours to provide emergency cover, most bespoke designs take around four weeks to manufacture and erect.

Working closely with contractors and project managers, Spaciotempo guarantees a timely and accurate delivery service to meet the time and budget requirements of the most demanding construction schedule.

Standard unit sizes vary from 5 to 30 metres in width with unlimited length in 5 metre bays, and with wall heights rising to a maximum of 8 metres. Beyond this it is possible to gutter-link

individual modules creating an indefinite

amount of space.

By using its own manufacturing capabilities and working with proven suppliers, Spaciotempo can also supply buildings complete with disabled access ramps, steel, glazed and emergency exit doors for pedestrians, glazed windows, lighting, power rental, fire and alarm systems, protective railings and suspended ceilings, making them suitable for almost any public facility.
