Considerable cost savings compared to conventional systems,
for the following reasons:
fewer components required, e.g. less pipework, ducts,
valves, etc.
suspended ceiling not required. Where a suspended
ceiling is used for lighting only or return air, the
installation of such a ceiling is much simpler
fewer sub-contractors on site. Because of the modular
and pre-fabricated nature of the product, very few trades
are needed on site.
very short programme on site because of the speed
of installation of the system
lower cost of BMS system
Increased amount of development costs can be classified
as PMFF (Plant Machinery Fixture and Fittings). PMFF items
can be depreciated and offset against income before payment
of tax.
Shorter programme on site means that tenants can move
in quicker, thus ensuring faster return on capital.
The Protek System eliminates the inflexibility of conventional
piping, fixed ductwork and false ceilings, providing for
flexibility in the building design. This ensures that, especially
in speculative projects, depending on market conditions
at the time of completion, each building can be let as a
single or multi-tenanted property without involving costly
design changes for the owner.
The Protek System is suitable for both new build projects
and refurbishments.
By placing all services under the floor and using the
floor void for air distribution, the Protek System lends
itself to use in refurbishment of conservation and older
buildings where period architectural features can be preserved,
while at the same time providing modern, indoor working
environments for 21st century companies.
In new build projects, using the Protek System instead
of a conventional air conditioning system, will result in
savings in floor to ceiling heights equivalent to an extra
floor free on the average 10 storey building. i.e. build
a 10 storey high building but get 11 floors … and extra
rental income … using the Protek System
Suitable for properties of all sizes, from 150/200m2 and
upwards to hundreds of thousands of m2.
Possibility to postpone final fitout or change layout
design easily to suit tenants' last minute needs; cash flow
advantage.
Possibility to achieve higher rent by providing major
advantages for the prospective End Users.
