Client: Defence Estates

Project: Laffan House

Need: To provide quality office accommodation for over 50 staff, conference facilities (for 60 delegates) in addition to a computer mainframe room.

Laffan House is set in an important rural area and therefore design and development of the project needed to be sympathetic to the surrounding environment, whilst maintaining the flexibility of a future relocation or adaptation in the short or long term to suit the needs of Defence Estates.

Solution: A single storey semi-permanent modular building with a 40 year design life was provided. This enabled the flexibility of relocation at a later date.

Close liaison with the Integrated Project Team set to occupy the building on completion ensured that an optimum internal layout was designed. The central core of the building houses the regularly accessed facilities such as the 60 seater conference room. Surrounding this core area is open plan and individual office areas, all fitted to the highest specification including windows laminated with solar film and comfort heating. The building is serviced by a Building Management System which controls the internal environment including air conditioning, heat recovery and optimises the energy consumption of the building.

The building was manufactured in Rollalong’s quality controlled factory, including the internal fit out and installation of all mechanical and electrical services prior to delivery to site, erection and connection to mains services.

Duration: Groundworks started in December 2001 and the building was handed over just three months later.

Client Comment: "Despite minor changes and additions made to the original building design and specification, the programme has still been met. This is a direct result of close collaboration between ourselves, Rollalong and all other members of the supply chain integrated into the project team. It is a clear demonstration of how total customer satisfaction can be achieved through a partnership approach."
