HOTELS & CATERING
 
  
Adroit Modular Buildings have built a number of hotels, including two three-storey hotels and the innovative 'Floatel'.

A wide variety of external finishes can be applied. In the case of one of the three-storey hotels a traditional 'wet-brick' cladding was built after installation of the modules to give a totally conventional appearance. A similar 'traditional' appearance could be obtained using brick-slips. On the other, a much more 'avant garde' appearance was achieved using coloured aluminium cladding.

Pitched, mansard, or even barrel roofs can be added to modular buildings, just as they can be used on any conventional structure.

Prefabricated building modules can be supplied with fully-fitted bedrooms already installed and even incorporating en-suite facilities ready for connection on site. Typically a single 12m module can contain up to two standard hotel bedrooms and en-suite facilities, on either side of a corridor, but larger rooms can be built using adjacent modules.

Although Adroit Modular Buildings has built two 80 bed hotels, the Company is particularly interested in building smaller hotels and motels. Typically around 30-40 bed units, with associated reception and communal rooms, with total floor areas of up to 1,000sq m.

Modular buildings can also be used to provide additional accommodation or catering facilities for existing establishments that want to expand without having the disruption of prolonged building works. Dining facilities or kitchens attached to public houses for example. Modular units can even be clad in brick or stone to match existing buildings.
