Scott HowellBuilding Components was commissioned jointly by Steve Johnston of Wirral Partnership Homes and Paul Rolfe of Wirral Council to supply suitable accommodation for four year old Scott Howell.
Scott’s existing home was not suitable for conversion so an extension was proposed. Building Component’s proposal was a MAP (Modular Adaptation Pod) consisting of a bedroom and wet room. The bedroom design needed to accommodate all medical equipment Scott required, this included 30 electrical items all requiring designated power outlets.

ManufactureThe M.A.P is constructed from light weight steel to meet all current building regulations and is a structural entity, however in this instance the roof strength was increased to accommodate an electrical hoist. The hoist has a capacity of 300kg.

ManufactureThe project under Building Components control split into three elements. Firstly, the internal modification to the property was undertaken by WPH due to their knowledge of the housing system. Secondly, the external groundwork and installation was carried out by BC. Thirdly, the manufacture of the M.A.P was carried out by the pod manufacturer.
Work started on all three elements simultaneously, TWO weeks after planning approval was given.
All three elements were completed TWO weeks later. The installation then took place on the Monday of the third week.
