The buildings can be hired on a temporary basis (even for several years) or purchased as a permanent building. However, these are not in any way temporary structures as every PremierPlus building is bespoke and designed to have a 100 year plus structural lifespan.
The quality of the structure is reflected in the standard specification:
- Significantly reduced running costs with high insulation, increased air tightness (readings as low as 2.5m3/h/m2) and reduced CO2 emissions, making PremierPlus far more environmentally friendly than conventional structures and other modular building systems.
- The 200 mm thick, galvanised steel wall construction and panel system (the industry norm is 100mm) has zero cold bridging, offering much greater acoustic and thermal qualities.
- Cable routes located every 300mm within the walls, both vertically and horizontally - dispenses with the need to use visible surface cable conduits.
- Exclusive window sealing system and cill arrangement that is neat and improves the performance of the uPVC units. Up to 1500 mm deep windows provide more light.
- External wall finishes can be pre-finished steel, traditional brick, brick slip, cedar or Rainscreen cladding or a combination of one or more of these.
- Simple and secure push-fit connectors within each section connects services between building modules and different storeys.
- Up to 5 storeys high buildings can be constructed using standard units, no need to have a specially strengthened base unit and therefore additional units can be easily added at a later date, for better utilisation of the site footprint and even lower construction costs.
- Exceed Part L2A building regulations and can achieve BREEAM excellent ratings and DDA compliance.
- 'U' value of the walls, floors and roof exceeds building regulations.
- Over a typical 25 year period, the whole-life maintenance costs for a PremierPlus building has been found to be lower than a traditional building (source - independent report by BLP, September 2007).
- Carries a comprehensive 40 year structural guarantee, with Corus Confidex external wall warranty of up to 30 years.
- Awarded a systems type approval by the LABC (Local Authority Building Control)
- Exterior cladding system has been independently approved and tested by the 'Loss Prevention Council' to confirm fire performance.
- Premier Interlink holds ISO 14001 environmental accreditation and ISO 9001 quality assurance.
