QCB5 Gym

Here we go, Alex. What are you showing me? Hi there.

We're here today, 18th of July, 2022. 37°. So hot.

It's so hot. We're going to go into our air-conditioned office just to see the temperature. And it is Feel that.

Wow. How cold is that? 1° and 34% humidity.

So, it feels cold in here. It doesn't feel warm. But, it's not until you sit down and realize it's not cold.

It's just perfect. The temperature is a perfect working environment. Yeah.

Can I attach one of your garden studios to my house? That's a no, I'm afraid. Yeah.

Uh it doesn't comply with present building regulations to a house and the foundations and all the other things that that you would require, the height, the floor, that everything about it isn't compatible with uh I mean, I know people are building conservatories in that style, but it's not something we do and it's not something we're looking into. But we have installed studios extremely close. Yes, to houses.

So So they've got a walkway through and they've built a canopy between the two. So have they done that because their house door, if they're coming from the house into the studio, they would open the door inwards? Yes, so they open the door.

Step through, open the door inwards to the studio and Yeah. It's just a little step step through. Step through.

Yeah, and they've built a little bridge across, so they're just walking through. But you are leaving one building and entering another separate building. That's how you're getting round it.

Yeah, and lots of people have done that, but Yeah. Yeah, you just got to be careful that you've got your levels and everything correct when you do that. course, of course, yeah.

Okay, thank you.

Specification and customization winters. Can I have Sorry, can I elaborate of a multi-level decking? We do decking and we do a a standard decking at the front of the studio.

One caveat on that, if you want a huge decking at different levels and different systems, the chances of you living Southampton you know, which is 3 hours from us, you chances of finding somebody down in Southampton who does decking cheaper than us because we're going to have to put our guys up in hotels and and so this is just not something we do then really, is it? We We can if you can't find anybody, then we do it. You know, we can do it.

But what we don't want to do is you sell your your expensive on the decking because we're not expensive on the studios. But if you want to just a small decking along the front of the studio, that can be made at the workshop and all finished and trimmed and all ready to go. So all is plug and play.

Bang, bang, bang. Putting screws in with no chopping or cutting. Then yes, we can do that.

But if you want a decking that's going to go around an oak tree and come down here and steps down there, although we could do it, you'd be better off getting a specialist decking company in to do that. Yeah.

Can we supply a more bespoke garden office design? Well, I Everything's done in 1-ft increments. So, we wouldn't go a half foot.

So, we wouldn't go 6 and 1/2 ft. And when I say 1-ft increments, it's 306 mm. So, it can be It is metric as well as uh 1 ft.

But, you can add lots of different things. You can have small windows. You can have fanlight windows.

You can have decuple floors. You can have more doors. You can put a 4-ft picture window in the wall.

You can put a door in the door in the corner. You know, we do annexes where they might put a door in this corner. So, that they're going out the back of their studio into their own little garden space that they've created.

So, the building is adaptable. There is a list of things that we can And they're also something that people don't realize they're joinable. Yes, well, the studios for the annexes to work, it's under the Caravan Act.

So, So, they've had to join. Yeah, the Caravan Act states that it's two buildings joined together. Remember, these are both got travel on a lorry, not one on a lorry, but one and separate, and then the final act is the bolting of the buildings together, which we've perfected.

So, we put the two buildings together. They're actually not joined, but then the final act, we join them together to comply with the Caravan Act. So, you can have an 8 by 60 16-ft by 8 studio, and you can join that to another 16-ft by 8 studio.

Yeah. We would have a few walls in there to stop any racking. But, if you want a pool table in there, for example, we could two join two studios together.

That would make a a large room big enough to play So, actually, there's a huge amount of flexibility with the design. Yeah. And you can join, you know, two buildings together, two bigger buildings together to make a bigger classroom if you choose to.

You know, if you want to put a classroom in a school, we do lots of classrooms. So, the buildings can get bigger and bigger.

Do you supply biffold doors? No. [laughter] Uh contraction and expansion on a mobile building is is high and the strength required to support bifold doors when they're hanging on that one corner.

That would be tough for a mobile building to do. Uh you can do it, but you just be forever adjusting them. Yeah.

Everybody I've ever spoke to in the Bifold door industry says that's what they spend most of their time doing is readjusting them every year to the seasons. So there's a lot of time spent. Yeah, I mean there are people who have fitted bifold doors and never had an issue, but they would be very very expensive aluminum doors with really expensive.

And wouldn't it be better if the property is north facing because if it's south facing then it's going from full sunshine heat to cooling down really quickly. Yeah. So yeah, and you know we work at speed to get the guys home to get you.

So you don't want a big build thing going on for months and months. Uh and we we walk through houses. We go downstairs in flats in London and through the house and out the other door.

So the building is designed to go through a house. A biffold door would you know you just you're going to battle all day just to get it through the house. And we build at speed.

So a 16 by8 built in a day. Put set of biffold doors in it. You probably double the price.

So it's not it's not something we do. Yeah. The call for it isn't high enough for us to warrant spending any time researching it.

Yep.
