Esquire Glass are based in the little village of Padfield in Glossop and are a thriving manufacturer of sheet glass and glass components designed and delivered to the building industry and commercial markets.
A major sector of Esquire Glass business is the design and manufacture of glass products which are used in all different ranges of the Kitchen market ie Hobs, Doors, Table Tops etc.
In October 2007, Managing Director Mr Paul Lockett approached Bell Warehouse Systems with simplified sketch drawings for a 4,200 square foot extension required to the Padfield site due to needed expansion after seeing the need to create valuable storage space in order to purchase bulk raw materials after a success of contact awards.
Within fourteen days, Bell Warehouse had travelled to Glossop to personally meet with Paul discuss the project and within this timescale had presented him with a fully scheduled out price breakdown itemising – Sub-Structures, Design, Steelwork, Cladding, Doors, Building Control Fee’s and Ground investigastion Report costs all within a simplified letter describing the works with a brief section by section specification.
At this stage, Paul had requested the incorporation of an internal crane to be installed within the new shop area and gave us the go ahead to put in place the ground investigation report in order that we may form a view on the required foundation and re-design our steel frame loading in order to take account of the new crane facility. We turned this new design around within 7 days and prior to a full appointment from Esquire went to meet them with our new costing and specification (the overall adjustment which we showed open-book was a £6K uplift to tkae account of all steel increased sizes and the doulbing in size of foundation bases) which proved a success and our appointment followed by way of a simple confirmation letter based on the fix cost and specification we had produced.
Work commenced in mid January 2008 and the project was handed over to Paul by mid March 2008 for the fixed price of £152,250 this included the full lighting and electrical package including the incorporation of an 8 metre wide electrically operated roller shutter door !!

What we pride ourselves in on this scheme is the maintaining of a high client input where electronic copy drawings were immediatly forwarded to Esquire and direct communication between the client and our own engineers meant all parties had full input and approval prior to construction.
Since the completion of the project, we have provided for Esquire and full maintenance and small works operation facility on the new scheme along with the existing main building.
