The Requirement

Site accommodation was required by GrantRail Group and Skanska who are joint venture partners in a multi-million pound extension of the Docklands Light Railway to Stratford International Station in the heart of the Olympics regeneration area.

The Solution

Two-storey offices were provided by ConstructionSpace in just four weeks from receipt of order.

The 500 sqm building comprises 20 pre-owned steel-framed modules which were relocated to the site in Stratford to accommodate around 45 people for up to three years.

Comments from the Client

Rob Grassom, Facilities Manager, GrantRail:
"We have used ConstructionSpace previously, to supply site accommodation for a project in Kent. When we were awarded the DLR contract with Skanska we looked at a number of building solutions and felt the ConstructionSpace option best suited our needs, programme and cost requirements." 

"This approach is significantly faster and more cost-effective than new build. We needed the accommodation as soon as we won the contract to move in the team and organise the site. We had a good working relationship with ConstructionSpace and the project manager was excellent, giving us a single point of contact throughout. We are now working with ConstructionSpace again following our success with Skanska in winning the second phase of the DLR extension."
