Construction of a New Sales Office and Reception at Suite Silver Sands Holiday Park, Lossiemouth for Park Holidays
​
Modular500, a leader in the modular construction industry, was tasked with a unique project: constructing a new sales office and reception suite for Park Holidays in Lossiemouth. This project was notable for its complexity, involving coordination between various stakeholders including internal project managers, architects, engineers, and local authorities. With stringent building control requirements and the added complexity of working in proximity to RAF Lossiemouth, this project required a high level of planning, collaboration, and technical expertise. Despite the logistical challenges posed by the location and the need for special permits, Modular500 successfully delivered a high-quality building that provides an outstanding workspace for Park Holidays staff, holidaymakers, and owners.
Park Holidays is one of the UK’s leading holiday park providers, offering a variety of leisure and holiday accommodations across the country. Their vision for this project was to create a modern and functional sales office and reception suite that would serve both the needs of the staff and provide an inviting, professional space for visitors. The project’s scope included everything from initial design to final on-site installation, with the end goal being a workspace that would stand the test of time.
The location of the site added an extra layer of complexity. Situated near RAF Lossiemouth, the site required special consideration in terms of permits and approvals, including negotiating with the police and other local authorities. Furthermore, building materials and construction techniques had to meet stringent building control requirements to ensure safety, durability, and sustainability.
At the outset of the project, Modular500 worked closely with the appointed internal project managers from Park Holidays, as well as the design teams, architects, and engineers. This collaboration was crucial to ensuring that the design concept was both feasible and in line with Park Holidays’ functional and aesthetic goals. Modular500 brought their expertise in modular construction to the table, offering valuable insight into how best to turn the design into a practical, cost-effective, and time-efficient solution.
The design process involved a thorough review of the building's intended use, the site’s characteristics, and the required regulatory compliance. The project team carefully considered how the modular building would interact with its surroundings and how best to create a welcoming, functional space that would be enjoyed by staff and visitors alike. The final design featured an layout with office spaces, a welcoming reception area, and high-quality finishes that would stand up to the demands of both the staff and the public.
The engineers worked alongside the architects to ensure that the building was structurally sound and that all required technical specifications were met. Modular500’s commitment to high standards and innovative construction methods meant that they were able to offer an exceptional building solution, combining efficiency with aesthetics.
One of the most challenging aspects of this project was the location. Situated in a remote area, the construction site posed several logistical challenges. Delivering materials and modules to the site required careful planning, particularly given the rural location and the distance from the nearest major transport hubs.
In addition to the logistical hurdles, the proximity of the site to RAF Lossiemouth meant that the project required special permits and approvals. This included negotiating with local police forces and coordinating with RAF authorities to ensure that the construction process would not interfere with operations at the nearby base. Modular500 worked closely with these organisations to obtain the necessary permissions, ensuring that all safety protocols were followed and that the project could proceed without delay.
Once the building modules were delivered to the site, the next challenge was the on-site installation. Modular500’s team expertly managed the assembly process, which included both internal and external finishes. The building’s exterior was designed to be visually appealing, with high-quality materials chosen for durability and aesthetic appeal. The internal space was designed to be both functional and comfortable, featuring spacious offices, a large reception area, and a variety of workspaces for the staff.
The installation process required meticulous attention to detail, as the building had to meet both aesthetic and functional standards. The internal finishes were carefully executed to create a welcoming environment for Park Holidays’ staff and guests. The reception area was designed to be the focal point of the building, featuring sleek, modern counters (that were supplied by others). These counters added a high-end touch to the space, complementing the overall design and enhancing the guest experience.
One of the unique aspects of this project was the careful consideration given to both the aesthetics and functionality of the building. The modular construction method allowed for flexibility in design, ensuring that the final product met Park Holidays’ vision for the space while staying within budget and schedule constraints. Modular500’s commitment to quality control throughout the installation process ensured that every detail, from the flooring to the fixtures, was completed to the highest standards.
The final product was a modern, functional, and aesthetically pleasing sales office and reception suite that met all of Park Holidays’ requirements. The space was designed to foster a productive environment for staff, while also creating a welcoming and professional atmosphere for visitors.
For Park Holidays, the new building has provided a vital addition to their operations. The sales office and reception suite are central to the experience of both staff and visitors, serving as a hub for communication and interaction. Holidaymakers and park owners can now enjoy a modern, inviting space that reflects the high standards of the Park Holidays brand.
The project was also a testament to the effectiveness of modular construction in delivering high-quality buildings quickly and efficiently.
The construction of the new sales office and reception suite for Park Holidays by Modular500 was a successful and rewarding project that highlighted the company’s expertise in modular construction. Despite the challenges posed by the remote location and the proximity to RAF Lossiemouth, Modular500 was able to deliver a high-quality building on time and within budget.
This project serves as a prime example of the benefits of modular construction, with its combination of speed, efficiency, and design flexibility. Thanks to the strong teamwork and collaboration between Modular500, Park Holidays, and all involved parties, the final product is a beautiful and functional workspace that will serve both staff and visitors for years to come. The success of this project demonstrates the importance of careful planning, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality—principles that Modular500 embodies in every project they undertake.
