Located just steps from the Oval Cricket Ground, this 95-bedroom Travelodge hotel has now been successfully completed. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We were appointed at Stage 4 by Bennett Construction to take forward a planning-approved scheme originally developed by Rolfe Judd Architects.<\/p>\n

Our involvement focused on Stage 5 delivery \u2013 developing detailed construction drawings and documentation to realise the project. Working closely with Bennett\u2019s site team, we navigated complex detailing challenges and coordinated a broad consultant team to deliver a highly efficient, off-site-led build.<\/p>\n

A key highlight of the project was the use of a light gauge steel frame (LGSF) system by MetStructures. This approach enabled the structural frame and external envelope to be manufactured off-site and assembled in a matter of weeks \u2013 significantly streamlining the construction timeline. The scheme also featured pre-fabricated bathroom pods, marking a first for us in this sector and paving the way for future modular opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n

The fa\u00e7ade posed particular challenges, especially the deep wall build-ups resulting from the splayed window returns and stone banding. Coordinating these details in line with strict Travelodge brand guidelines required clear roles and close collaboration across the team.<\/p>\n

Despite the complexities, the project progressed smoothly and has been delivered to a high standard. It was a truly collaborative effort between Bennett Construction, CS Consulting Engineers, MC Ashfield, MetStructures, ERS Consultants, Clement Acoustics, Anstey Horne, and Landscape Perspectives \u2013 all contributing to the successful delivery of a high-quality, BREEAM Excellent building that adds real value to the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n
