JAMES HARDIE LAUNCHES NEW ‘TOOLBOX TALKS’ SERVICE

 

James Hardie, a world leader in the manufacture of high-performance fibre cement and fibre gypsum building solutions, has launched a new ‘Toolbox Talks’ service to provide builders and homeowners with essential installation knowledge across its product portfolio.

 

Two new Technical Support Specialists have been appointed to deliver the service.  Mitchell Pearson will support clients in the South West and South East. He joins from Persimmon Homes where he was Site Manager and brings with him extensive project management and construction experience.

 

Andrew Coote will be responsible for clients in the Midlands, North of England and Scotland. He has worked at James Hardie as a Channel Manager for 2 years and has an excellent understanding of the full product range.  Prior to that he worked as an installer using James Hardie products, giving him a comprehensive knowledge of potential on-site project issues.

 

The new service will include pre-installation training sessions for every project and a pre-project meeting with the builder or developer to ensure drawings and products are aligned before on-site work begins, preventing any costly downtime.  Once the project has begun there will be regular site visits to carry out project audits, ensuring all products have been installed correctly.

 

Simon Buckmaster, Technical and Sales Service Manager at James Hardie said:

“Our new service will elevate the James Hardie offering even further providing our clients with wraparound support throughout the duration of their project.

“Having Andy and Mitchell on board means that any questions or concerns can be dealt with early, and that installation is a smooth and stress-free process.”

HARDIE® ARCHITECTURAL PANEL CHOSEN FOR GO MODULAR PROJECT

Beam Contracting, the high-end construction firm, has chosen to utilise the Hardie® Architectural Panel, a product from James Hardie, the world leader in the manufacture of high-performance fibre cement and fibre gypsum building solutions, as part of its construction of ten modular flats in Poole in conjunction with Go Modular Technologies (UK) Ltd, the modular building manufacturer.

The decision to choose the Hardie® Architectural Panel was based on the fact that it is easy to install and delivers a cost effective, low maintenance solution with the assurance of an A2 fire rated performance.  Vivalda, the independent distributor of cladding panels, supplied the materials for the project, fabricating the panels in phases to coincide with the construction schedule.  Smooth sand, one of the available textures, was chosen to match the planning specification in three of the core panel colours (Arctic White, Anthracite Grey and Cobblestone), giving the project a modern and contemporary look, and reflecting the coastal location.

 

Steve Hawes, Project Director at Beam Contracting commented:

“This was the first time that we’ve used the Hardie® Architectural Panel and we were really pleased with how easy it was to install – so much so that we have subsequently added the panel as a standard specification option for Beam Contracting.”

Lee Bucknall, UK Sales Manager at James Hardie, added:

“Modular buildings are becoming an increasingly popular solution providing construction firms and clients with lower project costs, sustainability benefits and significantly reduced build times. Hardie® Architectural Panel is perfectly suited to supporting modular building methods providing a sustainable solution that is durable and easy to install.”
