At Bell & Webster, we believe in working with you as a partner from the start, which means offering our expertise in designing and manufacturing rooms to suit your every individual project.

expectations

All precast is manufactured off-site and delivered on-site ready for final preparation and decoration, with either wallpaper or emulsion. All sections are designed for ease of construction, fitting together with hidden joints and connected to conform fully with Building Regulations. And, as the windows are fixed, internal trades can commence work far earlier than on a traditional-build site. All this to ensure peace of mind for you when you partner with us. cover MacDonald St. Paul’s Hotel, Sheffield left University of East London above, anticlockwise from top City Inn, Manchester; Express by Holiday Inn, Northampton; Brunel University, West London; The International Hotel, Telford

UEL Student Residences

Accommodation

One of our most innovative projects has been the development of the University of East London’s campus at Royal Albert Docks. The campus provides 788 student bed spaces and ancillary facilities on a previously vacant site adjacent to the University’s existing Docklands campus. Located opposite London City Airport, the site is bounded by the Royal Albert Dock and a publicly accessible dock edge path to the south, the Docklands Light Railway, Gallions Reach Roundabout; and University Way to the north and Woolwich Manor Way to the east. The building was constructed using mainly precast concrete because of its inherent robust nature, acoustic and thermal properties. This also helped eliminate wet trades, thus saving time and money and increasing the speed of erection.

Accelerated construction is a key advantage with Fast Build Rooms. It reduces the time taken to complete a project. For example using our Fast Build rooms on a building footprint of 32 beds, 4 kitchens and central core area per floor, it takes approximately two weeks to complete the construction, including the installation of the bathroom pods.
