But Why Does It Take So Long...?
We give the construction team 8 weeks to build the box and then we take 6 weeks to finish it.
From start to finish (including planning permission) the whole process takes no less than 28 weeks.
One of the questions I'm often asked is, what do the installation team do? So I thought I'd create this graph to show you.
The units arrive fully constructed so there is a perception that all we have to do is line them up
