• FOR its new accident repair workshop, Ford dealer DovesFord of Folkestone decided to order a precast concrete-frame structure. The result, an 18-metre singlespan by 33m deep shop designed by Atcost Buildings of Tunbridge Wells, looks good in its environment — in the shadow of a high, brick viaduct.
Atcost's order, worth 173,000, covered the design, manufacture and on-site erection of the concrete frame, including the foundations, together with the supply and fitting of profiled pvc-coated steel sheeting to the roof and halfway down the sides. This cladding has an internal sheet steel lining, with intermediate thermal insulation.
However, a way to construct attractive buildings, and offer a complete solution for garage owners who want to develop their premises and continue business with the minimum of delay, is to opt for Swagebeam Buildings, according to Ayrshire Metal Products (Daventry).
The Design Council awardwinning building is manufactured in maintenance-free galvanised steel sections. Ayrshire recommends the British Steel Colorcoat range of pre-painted steel as the last cladding material for Swagbeam Buildings.
There is a range of seven profiles combined with this choice of colours matched by flashings and other accessories. For more information on Atcost, circle Turbo 62, and for Ayrshire Turbo 63.
