The Construction Work
The client was very impressed by the speed of the build. The multi-storey hotel was completely modernised in just seven weeks. The shell of the building was completed within a few days. Subsequent changes could be undertaken quickly and simply thanks to the use of binderholz CLT BBS. Unlike with conventional construction methods, this project cost the same but took less than half the comparable construction time.
Further benefits of solid timber construction include:
No drying time:
· Immediately possible to fit out the rooms and have guests move in
· The hotelier can rent out the rooms more quickly again
Prefabricated elements:
· Fast, perfectly fitting construction
The Design
The removal of the roof and a further 2 ½ floors made space for additional 20 new rooms for the hotel. The new bedrooms have a U value of 0.175 w/m²K, thanks to the use of BBS elements combined with appropriate insulation in the roof and external walls.
