With the building industry being hit hard during the recession the launch of Aganto’s Part L2A Compliant Range could not have come at a better time. Building contractors can now present their clients with an alternative option that will help kick start some of the recession hit commercial and public sector projects.

What’s all the fuss about?
Green, energy, efficiency, environment! That’s where we are all going, like it or not. Aganto can now fit into this ‘green’ box with the Part L2A Range meeting the stringent Building Control requirements for air-tightness and energy efficiency. The fact they can do this, but retain minimal costs without scrimping on quality or longevity, is simply what the fuss is about.

Designed to work not wow!
It wouldn’t be unfair to say that, on occasion, the building industry has being slightly disparaging when it comes to temporary demountable buildings. There are some valid points particularly in terms of aesthetics. They aren’t an architectural masterpiece and wouldn’t win any prices for design and creativity. They are what they are, a simple, easy, affordable and highly credible building solution for industrial, commercial and public sector usage; one that does also meet the same structural integrity standards as a permanent building.

Now, with the launch of the Aganto Part L2A Complaint Range temporary buildings have moved up a notch and are presenting themselves as a true and invaluable solution to building contractors for more permanent applications. In the current recession the lack of design aesthetics is a small price to pay in return for the huge upfront savings and lower maintenance requirements contractors can offer their clients.

Solution not competition
It would be understandable for the building industry to think of the new Part L2A Aganto Range as competition, but this is not the case. Aganto are launching this Range into the building industry only. Clients who come to Aganto first for a Part L2A building would 9 times out of 10 require a building contractor to manage the project.

What exactly are the benefits?
The simple modular design and a build process of anchoring to the ground as opposed to traditional foundations dramatically reduces labour costs and build times. This means contractors are not only able to minimalise their clients’ costs, but offer a complete solution in weeks as opposed to months.

Fit for which purpose?
Any heated building in use for more than two years now needs to meet Part L2A of Building Regulations. For non-dwelling purposes the Aganto Part L2A Range would be suitable for workshops, factories, educational facilities, warehousing space, gyms, halls and general open space public facilities.

Conclusion
The pros of the Part L2A Compliant Range clearly out weigh the cons. Although there is a lack of contemporary architectural design, the quality and strength is clearly evident. Additionally, the savings in terms of costs and time are so attractive and timely, the building industry could do a lot worse than adding this range to their portfolios.
