The very first step deals with the basics of site, size and services for your consideration:
Have you got any site drawings, specs or indeed site photos to help us build the best picture we can to give you the very best advice?
The site is really important, as it is the home for your bespoke modular project. Let us know any details in the box below.
All our buildings are bespoke (hence the tagline) and your classroom needs are unique to you. Once we have your dimensions, we design to specific structural engineering calculations.
What size space will your building cover, otherwise known as the footprint. Any drawings or photos or sketches are useful so please feel free to upload.
Planning permission – have you sorted this already, if not check our blog on obtaining local authority planning permission here.
How available is electricity to the building?
Electricity will power your lights and sockets and convection heaters. Will you be requiring air conditioning?
We will make a full site appraisal when we visit but here is a quick checklist to consider for installation day for your modular classroom:
Issues to consider for installation of a modular build:
It is important to take some time to look at the best possible fit for the environment where the modular classroom is being installed. Wintech Modular buildings are all bespoke and the finish is no exception.
Do you need an access ramp, steps or staircase?
There are lots of ways to enhance your new build with careful thought to the access points. We can talk these through with you, so you get the very best looking and functioning facility for all your stakeholders.
To enable us to give you a ballpark figure for investment costs we offer 3 standard finishing styles for you to build a quote from..
Each finish offers their own colour choices and great warranties:
These 3 finishing’s are discussed in more detail in this article.
We also offer brick and stone slip finish but that is quoted separately.
Often a forgotten element but this is the exterior finish around the base of the building at ground level hiding the foundation pads and needs careful consideration in relation to pipework and any external decking.
Do you need a skirt on your building and if so, how can we choose something to enhance the finish of your lovely new classroom?
What external lighting is required?
Please let us know of any of your external lighting requirements.
Flat roof is the standard, but you do have the opportunity to enhance your building with an Apex roof – as a guide this will take the finished height of a standard modular building from 3m to 3.5m.
Your budget, site and situation will help you decide on your preferred roof.
Our standard external doors are metal, and the finish compliments the chosen cladding and external finish.
Our standard Wintech windows are double glazed UPVC with obscure glass in toilets and showers as standard.
Every step a student, teacher or visitor takes on your property and the facilities they use whilst they are there is a reflection on your school. How do you create the very best learning environment? Let the Wintech Way guide you to create the very best classroom accommodation.
Local authorities have set guidelines for space allocation per pupil dependent on age and class size, so it is vital that we work within the current guidelines.
As well as knowing the ratios consider what the demand for the facilities at peak times and the general use and flow of pupils and teachers throughout the day. Do you need cloakroom facilities, lockers, cupboards etc. Time spent discussing and deciding your options now will make sure that you are ahead of the game and not suffering from “saving” regret for the lifetime of your investment …
"If only we had invested in..." is not what you want to feel – we can work together to future stress-proof your investment.
Our facilities are built to deliver quality finish and aesthetics. Wintech Modular gives immense flexibility and can be built for your unique needs.
We have included office, toilets, cloakrooms, sleep rooms (for nurseries), quiet/reading rooms in the internal layouts of modular classrooms so consider current and future needs.
What does your internal accommodation include, give us details of cloakrooms, office, reading rooms, classroom sizes or questions or thoughts on your ideal requirements here
This is your space and being modular it is totally flexible can can be laid out to meet your unique requirements.
Our standard installations are white porcelain and wall mounted.
The siting of toilets and sinks will take in availability of plumbing and flow of users to the facility.
Do you need any toilets to be included, please give brief notes here:
If toilets are required we need to think about water and waste and also unisex or separate sex units.
Do you need any showers to be included, please give brief notes here:
As with the toilets we need to think about water, including provision of hot water and waste.
We offer carpet tiles or vinyl flooring as standard, is there anything specific you were looking for?
All our recommended coverings give years of great safe service, are cleanable and hygienic.
We do a separate lighting plan.
We use an advanced and reliable PIR lighting system which offers automated lighting throughout. If preferred traditional switches are also available.
If both heating and air conditioning is being installed, they will be the same units.
Where just heating we recommend electric convection heaters.
Post installation we hand to you a complete Operations and Maintenance Manual which walks you through care, cleaning and maintenance of every area of your new classroom. If required, we offer various levels of longer-term on-going maintenance and care.
Are there any other facilities that the building needs to provide, perhaps lockers or changing cubicles?
