Tingdene Group received an enquiry for a nursery and day care centre to be located in Norfolk, at this time no land was available, however a grant had been allocated from the Lottery.
The owners of the day care centre were originally considering traditional brick built construction but found Tingdene's modular construction to be favourable.
Once suitable land had been found, the specification needed to be decided upon and, with space being required for 50 children, ranging from babies up to 12 year olds, the calculations for space per child had to be calculated in accordance with Local Authority and Social Service guidelines.
The final layout was built in eight sections with a two piece roof.
Whilst the building was being constructed at Tingdene's factory in Wellingborough, groundwords were under way including the preparation of foundations, installation of services and laying of paths and ramps. This is one of the main advantages of modular building - a time saving of many weeks over traditional construction.
The handover of the Fakenham Day Care Centre was completed just eleven weeks after approval of specification. This rapid turnaround is virtually unheard of in traditional building.
