What does REI 30 mean in plain terms for a resort operator?

The structural element, under EN 13501-2, retains load-bearing capacity (R), integrity (E) and thermal insulation (I) for 30 minutes in a fire. For a two-storey staff accommodation building this is the rating most contracting authorities and insurance carriers ask for in resort settings. We build the full accommodation envelope to REI 30 where the brief requires it.

Why would an accommodation build be 2990 mm wide rather than 2438 mm?

The 2990 mm width gives the cell a wider room footprint without losing the transportability of the unit. We use the same width family on Western European projects where the contracting authority specifies a wider envelope. Season modules typically retain the standard 2435 mm width because that matches existing resort pads and lifting envelopes.

Can the staff accommodation be moved between seasons or sites?

Yes. The envelope is steel, the lifting points are integral, and the unit ships on a low-loader. We design the service connections (water, sewer, electricity) so they can be disconnected without cutting into the envelope. A two-storey building disassembles into its constituent cells for relocation.

Do you handle the foundations, services and on-site assembly?

Foundations and service connections are normally executed by a local contractor against our handover drawings. We supply the building, the connection schedule and the as-built dossier. For larger builds we travel a supervisor for the lift and the inter-cell sealing.

What about C3 corrosivity for alpine or lakeside deployment?

Sa 2.5 surface preparation and an EN ISO 12944 C3 coating system is the default for alpine and lakeside resort work. C3 covers urban, moderate-industrial and most alpine and lakeside exposures. For coastal hospitality (Mediterranean or Atlantic) we move to C4 or C5 on request, with a hot-dip galvanized substructure where the brief requires it.

Is electrical and AC integration documented for handover?

Yes. Electrical to PN-HD 60364, per-cell AC sized to the building, a wiring diagram per unit, a circuit schedule for the building, and the operating manual in the languages required by the resort. We can specify a heat-pump alternative on request.

Can you match a hotel brand's exterior livery?

RAL coverage is standard. RAL 7016, 3000 and 5010 are common on resort and hospitality programmes. Brand-specific paint to a non-RAL reference is workable through our paint and cure booth (Polin AC, 7.9 × 5.0 × 4.9 m, drying 75 to 80 °C); we run a colour-match sample before the production batch.

What is the warranty?

24-month manufacturer warranty as standard, extendable on framework engagements. The dossier identifies the joints, the surface preparation lot and the coating system so any claim is traceable to the production record.

Overview

Sector brief

Hospitality and leisure is the most seasonal customer set we serve. The clock is the building. A ski resort that misses its opening weekend loses a full revenue window; an aqua park that opens late on the May bank holiday loses every booking that was made nine months in advance. Container accommodation lets a resort operator decouple the building programme from the calendar of the mountain. We deliver welded, painted and fitted-out units that arrive on a low-loader, sit on a prepared pad and are connected to services within days rather than months.

For this sector we supply the full range a resort needs and customise every unit to the operator's exact requirement: two-floor staff accommodation buildings, single-storey season cabins for aqua-park and lakeside settings, hotel back-of-house support, reception and ticketing modules, and base-camp clusters for expeditions, productions and crews. Everything exits the same paint booth in Bánovce nad Bebravou that serves our defense and public-security work. The hardware register is the same. The dossier register is the same. What changes is the finish schedule, the fire rating and the seasonality of the call-off, all of which we set to the brief in front of us.

Compliance

Compliance and specification path

REI 30 fire resistance on the accommodation structure under EN 13501-2. Adequate for two-storey staff housing in resort settings and specified on demanding accommodation builds.
PIR sandwich panels for the roof and walls on insulated accommodation cells. Mineral wool on lighter season cabins.
ISO 8501 Sa 2.5 surface preparation. EN ISO 12944 C3 anti-corrosion coating system, suitable for the moderate-corrosivity exposure typical of alpine and lakeside installations.
ISO 3834-2 welding process feeds the EXC2 line.
PN-HD 60364 low-voltage electrical design for the in-cell sockets, lighting and AC feed.
ISO 9001 quality and ISO 14001 environmental management throughout.
EN 1090-1 EXC2 execution for the steel envelope: Same execution class as our defense and public-security work.

Documentation on handover follows the same structure we use for B2G work: per-unit weld procedure references, EN 10204 material certificates, paint dry-film thickness records, FARO 3D geometric inspection where the building geometry warrants it, multilingual manuals and the warranty pack.

How we work

Engagement model

Two of our four engagement models fit hospitality and leisure cleanly:

Your architect's drawings or the resort's standardised cell layout. Engineering review in 3 to 5 working days. Production runs against a fixed price and a fixed lead time. Most resort work runs this way.

Framework call-off is available where a resort group is provisioning capacity across multiple sites under one operator and wants pricing and slots locked across a multi-year window. This is the structure that suits a multi-site resort group or a chain hotel operator.

Lead time

add 1 to 2 weeks for stair core and inter-floor structural work.

Production runs through winter. A January engineering sign-off comfortably reaches a May opening on a leisure project, or a November opening for a December-start ski season on the larger staff accommodation builds.
