Smartroof, a leading innovator in offsite manufactured modular roofing solutions, has successfully completed a groundbreaking project at Claremont Garden Centre in Essex. Overcoming unique challenges posed by the project’s size and requirements, Smartroof’s ‘room in roof’ system has been employed to create a stunning new cafe, office, staff room, and greenhouse, revolutionising the possibilities of modern commercial construction.
Smartroof’s commitment to efficiency and customer satisfaction was evident throughout the project. The installation, which took only two days, was completed with remarkable speed and professionalism. Smartroof’s dedication to delivering on time and meeting project requirements played a pivotal role in the project’s success.
The Smartroof system offers a complete roofing solution for builders and developers seeking to unlock a building’s full potential by creating functional spaces within the roof space. Comprising a series of factory-produced panels, including insulated roof panels, spandrel wall panels as well as dormers, roof windows, decorative chimneys, soffit, and fascia where required the system is expertly delivered and craned into place on-site. Once in place, the roofs only require roof tiling, significantly reducing waste and ensuring better quality control during construction. Moreover, the Smartroof system aligns with the industry’s demands for innovative solutions that drive efficiency and elevate the standard of modern housing and commercial construction.
From the outset, Smartroof engaged with the architect and client, understanding their vision and design requirements. Armed with the initial designs, Smartroof’s experienced design team analysed the building’s steel structure in detail. Drawing on their expertise and recommendations, Smartroof collaboratively enhanced the designs, incorporating their ‘room in roof’ system seamlessly into the architectural vision.
Smartroof’s offsite fabrication facility provides a controlled environment that enables the technical team to achieve the architect’s vision with millimetre precision in both cutting and fabrication. Manufactured at the Smartroof factory in Derbyshire, the prefabricated panel system was skillfully delivered and installed by the Smartroof team, ensuring a seamless and high-quality roofing solution for Claremont Garden Centre.
In an era demanding faster construction methods and heightened energy efficiency, the offsite fabrication of roofs by Smartroof at Claremont Garden Centre delivered substantial benefits to all stakeholders. From improved health and safety to accelerated construction speed, and exceptional quality control, Smartroof’s innovative solution was tailored to this bespoke design and resulted in estimated savings of up to three weeks when compared to traditional onsite methods of roof construction.
The project’s scale presented a remarkable feat for Smartroof, leading them to manufacture their largest panelised roof panels to date – each an impressive 13 meters long. Rigorous planning and precision during the design and manufacturing stages ensured a smooth process for both the factory and logistics, ultimately resulting in a flawless installation.
Commenting on the project, Ian Dean Operations Director at Smartoof said: “At Smartroof, we take immense pride in delivering cutting-edge roofing solutions that are custom-tailored to meet the unique requirements of each project.
