Gateway Pods the viable
alternative to traditional construction methods…
Now very much part of the modern methods of construction embraced
by the Northern European Construction Industry, the pod solution
offers the specifier, designer, contractor and developer so many
quantifiable benefits that they are now recognised as a truly viable
alternative to using traditional construction in almost every type
of development.
Gateway steel frame building pods reduce build
programmes, create greater programme certainty, reduce prelims
and overheads while offering a much faster return on the capital
employed in the development.
Tried and tested for many years, Gateway pods have provided
ideal solutions for bathrooms and kitchens in hotels, apartments,
social housing, healthcare, nursing homes, key worker and student
accommodation. Today the flexible design specification of a contemporary
steel frame pod can be tailored to suit almost any type
of building, with solutions for fire rating, acoustics and disabled
specifications all taken into consideration.
