Installing an instant building – doing it your way
By Jason Lynock , Smart-Space Sales Director
One of the things that always strikes us are the different levels of supply that our customers prefer . On one hand we have those who are simply looking for us to supply and install a temporary building . And then we work with organisations of all sizes who ask us to take care of everything , from design and planning right through to maintenance .
How it all starts … Smart-Space has the kind of infrastructure that can manage exactly what the customer needs . It almost always begins with a site visit from one of the sales team - a conversation to establish what the building will be used for , a site survey and a quotation .
Shaun Stephens , our UK Sales Manager , has been with the business for several years and his time-served understanding is incredibly valuable when it comes to advising our customers . “ Sometimes I can see exactly what the customer is asking for but know it won ’ t work for any number of reasons . It ’ s my job to find a solution that ’ s as close as possible to their vision but that will also tick all the boxes in terms of planning , application and health and safety ” said Shaun .
Going to site … Then our site survey team looks at the logistics in a little more depth , factoring in use , utilities , boundaries and any unique information that relates to the site . Planning permission is something we undertake regularly but equally can be managed by the customer if preferred .
Picture this … If the project needs drawings we have skilled CAD designers who can show the building elevations from every angle – it ’ s very useful for the planning permission process and also the customer ’ s own general project planning .
Bringing it all together … There ’ s a lot to do in terms of project co-ordination : from making sure we have the correct materials and installation supplies , installation teams scheduled ( with accommodation if necessary ), health and safety assessments and other paperwork , any plant or equipment needed and the appropriate vehicles . And , of course , all of that has to co-ordinate with the customer ’ s plans as well .
For aftercare … our maintenance team , headed by Sam Stokes , responds quickly to any customer requests and they also work with customers who have a maintenance contract with us , making sure the buildings continue to be fit for purpose . It ’ s a well-oiled machine !
Ultimately , this is a system that works seamlessly and serves the business and its customers very well . Because of the way it ’ s set up it means customers are perfectly able to pick and choose which elements they want to include in the service . And that works well for everyone .
