The Ferryman

Hardie^® Architectural Panel: The Ferryman

Modular buildings are becoming a more popular solution as they demonstrate cost savings, shorter construction time and sustainability benefits. Go Modular Technologies (UK) Ltd manufactured ten flats constructed by nine large modules on three levels over the concrete commercial ground floor for this project in Poole.

We were able to offer an affordable A2 fire rated solution to finish the building envelope which resulted in the facade being completed in Hardie^® Architectural Panel. The planning approval was originally for render and buff brick so we were able to provide a similar look with our Smooth Sand texture which was chosen in three of our core colours to give this coastal location a modern and contemporary look. The client chose our product thanks to our cost effectiveness, low maintenance and A2 fire rating.

This was the first project Beam Contracting had done using Hardie^® Architectural Panel and Steve Hawes, Project Director commented how easy they were to install, leading them to be a future specification option for the company. From demolition to completion the project took 8 months and the material was supplied by Vivalda.
