Requirement:
Award-winning independent house builder, Morris Homes, was keen to
upgrade its existing on-site sales premises when it began a
prestigious new development of 196 homes at Worthington Park in
Standish. Sales Director Chris Minshall wanted to buy a
high-quality new building from which to market the company's
quality homes.
"The first name that came to mind was Portakabin," says Chris.
"I'd also seen one of their marketing suites on another
house-builder's site and was very impressed."
Solution: Morris Homes
chose one of Portakabin's Titan buildings - the largest
relocatable building on the market. Portakabin tailored the
building to meet the company's specific requirements, by
repositioning doors and windows and installing an extra partition
wall to separate the toilet and kitchen from the main sales
area.
The building also incorporates a separate "choices" room where
customers can choose the kitchen units, carpets and other options
for their new homes.
Chris Minshall says: "I chose the Portakabin building
because of its quality, above everything else. The
building is constructed entirely from steel, and I was
impressed by the long-term warranty Portakabin offered.
Relocatability was another important factor, since it means we can
take the building to our next development, once we've finished the
sales activity at Worthington Park.
"We couldn't have asked for a better service from
Portakabin. It was totally hassle-free, and they happily
accommodated all our special requirements and adapted the building
to meet our needs. The building looks really good
in its elevated and landscaped setting. Everyone loves
it, and I have no doubt that having such a high-quality
marketing suite has contributed to the early success of our sales
activity on this development."
