TM-WF
Welfare and changing
The building that decides whether people want to work somewhere. Wet, hard-used and usually value-engineered until it is miserable.
- Area
- 80–400 m²
- Lead time
- 10–14 weeks
- From
- £2,100 / m²
Built wet-first
Wet areas are tanked and tested in the factory rather than sealed on site, which is where almost every welfare building starts leaking in year three. Falls are set in the factory floor cassette, not chased into a screed afterwards.
