The brief

The project involves the supply of a minimum of 35 shipping containers onto a pre-prepared site.

Containers are required to the specification and numbers below.

It is required that delivery will be made of all containers in October 2016.

Retail 20ft containers- quantity required- 30 Insulation – walls/roof/floor lined with a ply/chipboard finish.

Doors – secure glass doors to the front (containers will be placed side-by-side so ‘front’ refers to the shorter ‘end’ normally occupied by the reinforced container doors.).

Two doors opening outwards, which will then be secured by latch flat against the container (note; there will be a certain amount of space allowed between each container for this).

A sliding patio door is acceptable, if secure.

Window – approx 1mx1m in the centre of the ‘rear’ of the container.

Interior finish – ply/chipboard finish with option of white painted.

Windows should be double- glazed, barred and opening.

Two plug socket to rear, and two plug socket at the front to RHS of the doors.

LED lighting – overhead lighting to produce a lighting level of 1300 lumens (equivalent to a 100w bulb) throughout the container.

Heating – 2X 2KW mains heaters per container Exterior – as previously stated containers will be arranged side-by-side so all containers will need painting at the rear, and four on the sides (forming the ends of the ‘village’).

Co-Working/Business Incubation 40ft containers- quantity required 6 Insulation – walls/roof/floor lined with a ply/chipboard finish.

Interior finish – ply/chipboard finish with option of white painted.

Our tenants may then request other fittings such as shelving/rails but these will be covered under their own expenses.

2 Doors – office style either end of the length of the container.

Window – 1 along the length of the container approx 30ft x 1m.

4 X 2 plug sockets incorporating 2X USB sockets in each along the rear length of the container.

LED lighting – overhead lighting to produce a lighting level of 1300 lumens (equivalent to a 100w bulb) throughout the container.

Heating – 2X 2KW mains heaters per container Please note as this stage a second storey is not required.
