Chalet Refurbishment - East Riding of Yorkshire Council

Project Overview

Cooper Construction Services were entrusted with the significant task of refurbishing 15 chalets at Bridlington’s South Beach, a popular destination that attracts numerous visitors, especially during holiday seasons. The project’s primary objective was to enhance the durability and aesthetic appeal of the rear of the chalets, ensuring they were ready to welcome guests for the Easter 2024 holidays.

Challenges

• Tight Deadline: The project had a stringent deadline, with only 9 days available to complete the refurbishments before the Easter holidays.
• Material Selection: The need for durable and weather-resistant materials that would extend the chalets’ longevity and maintain their visual appeal.
• Minimal Disruption: Ensuring that the refurbishment work caused minimal disruption to the surrounding area, maintaining a positive experience for beach visitors.

Solutions

Strategic Planning and Execution

• Efficient Workflow: Cooper Construction Services meticulously planned the refurbishment process, ensuring that each team member understood their roles and responsibilities, enabling a swift and efficient workflow.
• Staggered Approach: The project was divided into phases, with the first 10 chalets completed in just 5 days, allowing additional time for any unforeseen challenges with the remaining structures.

Material Innovation

• Tricoya® and Composite Materials: The rear of the chalets was refurbished using a combination of Tricoya® and composite materials, chosen for their durability, weather resistance, and low maintenance requirements. These materials are known for their longevity and ability to withstand coastal weather conditions, ensuring the chalets remain in excellent condition for years to come.
