This purpose-built Renault main dealership in Basildon comprised 12,000 sq.ft. of floor space including showroom, workshops, parts store, MOT station and associated offices and staff facilities. Work commenced on site late in 1996 and was completed in the autumn of 1997, under a JCT 1980 form of contract, with a contract value of £1.3m. The design of the dealership incorporated ample natural lighting and internal glazing to provide a light and open working environment, in keeping with the client’s brief. Saunders Partnership were involved in the whole design and construction process, including internal fittings and fitments, to provide a turn-key operation at handover.

Saunders Partnership were the appointed architects for this purpose-built facility, being at the time the largest ‘Super Hub’ distribution centre in the UK. It comprises 35,000 sq ft of fully fitted office accommodation and 125,000 sq ft of distribution warehousing, as well as a separate vehicle maintenance workshop. With a contract value of £15 million, the facility was constructed under a JCT Design and Build form of contract and completed early in 1997. It contains a very sophisticated purpose-built ‘Super Hub’ conveyor system which sorts incoming and outgoing parcels. This machinery cost more than the entire building project and required a complex labyrinth of mezzanine access galleries, with some challenging means of escape problems to solve. The building has 160 loading docks, which operate around the clock and, as you might expect, an extremely high level of site security
