Timber Buildings for Schools

Timber Buildings for Schools

Our timber school buildings offer a real, sustainable alternative to other modular and traditional construction options.

They are ideal for the education sector as they are “green”, individually designed, with fast construction and available as turnkey solutions.

Timber buildings provide an environment that supports health and well-being whilst encouraging creativity and enjoyment. Our sustainable school buildings are fantastic learning environments which inspire eco-awareness in adults and children alike.

Cabinco have constructed school buildings throughout the UK for both the private and public sectors. These buildings vary in size from 60m² classroom units to the 1300m2 Ockendon Academy Studio School in Essex, but all are individually designed, bespoke, sustainable buildings.

INDIVIDUAL DESIGN

Each building is individually designed with the client to ensure that they have the best possible solution rather than just a “best fit” option from a range of pre-designed units.

SPEED OF CONSTRUCTION

Our buildings are precision machined in the factory to minimise the on-site construction time. Construction methods do not generally require craneage or heavy machinery, which minimises cost and site disruption. With the option to eliminate all wet trades the entire process is more manageably controlled and less likely to fall victim to the British weather.

REDUCED SITE DISRUPTION

Through our reduced construction periods and modern methods of construction we can minimise site disruption. Options exist to further reduce this through use of screw-pile foundations (where appropriate) which can be installed in just a few days and require only a mini-digger to power screw the piles into the ground.

SUSTAINABILITY

The buildings have a strong eco-focus and are constructed from material which is largely natural, renewable and recyclable . We have looked at the sustainability from all aspects, starting at manufacture, then construction and during and after the building’s useful life.
In addition to this, there is a wide range of options to further enhance the sustainability of the building such as :

Living roof
Rainwater harvesting
Recycled or sustainable insulation
Sun tunnels
Roof lights
Acoustics management
TURNKEY SOLUTIONS

We understand that your time is also a precious resource so through our turnkey solutions for sustainable school buildings our aim is to give you one point of contact and take care of all management of supplementary trades to provide you with a finished building ready to move into.
