Customer case
Manor Fields, Pinxton, Gleeson Homes Midlands

Meeting the specification whilst providing cost-effective solutions
Gleeson Homes approached KOMPAN to provide a competitive tender for the play area installation on their Pinxton development which would be approved by Bolsover District Council. Working with the technical and commercial teams we created a design proposal which met the specification required by the local authority whilst also considering the cost implications and providing cost-effective solutions where achievable.
Key requirements for this project included:
Robust and durable equipment
Meeting planning specification
Cost savings
Good warranties
Inclusive item
Installation on gradient
Range of play values
Open space has been provided within the boundary fence to create a safe space for families to relax, allowing for the younger children to build their confidence and explore in a secure setting. A gradient within the area provided some challenges whilst on site but the installation team and Gleeson worked together to ensure this was incorporated in a way which wouldn’t impact the useability of the facilities.

“Can I take this opportunity to say it’s been a pleasure to deal with you, nothing was too much trouble where any issues or queries that required dealing with. Your operatives, who were professional at all times and the quality of the product they installed sets a very good standard. I know there are always challenges as was with this particular project, but you dealt with these in a timely and professional manner. I do hope I get the opportunity to deal with you again and can I say you are credit and no doubt a valuable asset/employee to KOMPAN. The operatives are a credit to the company too.”
