| Our most frequent challenge is to meet ever shortening timescales, so the task was laid down to find ways of building quicker, smarter and more intelligently but without cost implication. |

"One of the major issues of the construction industry is time. This is our way of cutting that time scale down and meeting a client need."
David Mills - Project Manager Services, ProLogis UK |

"In the past we have been doing buildings of this scale on 26 weeks."
Richard Butler - Site Manager, Winvic |
|
"From a clients perspective we can actually give the client the building that they require in a 10 week period as opposed to building something speculatively and then having to re-jig the internals of it to make it work for their scheme."

Apex Park, Daventry |
|
In the summer of 2004 ProShed was used for a 175,000 ft² distribution centre for JD Weatherspoon/Exel at Apex Park, Daventry. One of the features of this development was the need for a large proportion of the property to be refrigerated, requiring additional work to insulate the base and specialist construction. ProShed proved to be the ideal process. The steel work and roof took just four weeks allowing the refrigeration team to start work undercover.
The way that ProShed is managed allows the flexibility for variations from standard to be accommodated. In fact the benefits of ProShed is that it enables additional tailored solutions to be carried out more easily than when using traditional building methods. |
