Dawn Delivers Luxury to Braehead
30 October 2007

Dawn Construction has completed the Scottish Headquarters for internationally renowned luxury tile, bathroom and kitchen manufacturer Porcelanosa following a 50 week project at the Braehead site.

Dawn - one of Scotland’s leading independent construction companies completed the 90,000 sq ft design and build project to create an enviable ceramic tile distribution centre including a warehouse, offices, a display area and all associated external work.

  


The £9 million project also featured some unusual aspects for the construction team including an innovative ceramic tile rainscreen system to the showroom and office block and the insertion of a wetroom in the showroom for customers to try out the company’s whirlpool baths, spas, steam and hydrotherapy products.

The completion of the Scottish headquarters follows Porcelanosa’s decision to invest further in the Scottish market and to create a striking setting for the internationally applauded products that claims to be favourites of A-list stars including John Travolta, Claudia Schiffer, Sophia Loren and Sergio Garcia.

Ray Eve, Managing Director of Dawn Construction commented: “We have over 35 years experience offering our clients a complete top end design and build package and I am very pleased with the success of the Porcelanosa project at Braehead.

“Dawn Construction met with the stringent criteria stipulated by the client to provide a fantastic building for the distinguished bathroom, kitchen and tile company . The concept of the centre is very exciting and will certainly help to increase the company’s presence in Scotland.”

Des Martin, Managing Director of Porcelanosa, Scotland commented: “More than 50 staff are now enjoying the state of the art offices and working environment and our valued customers are now benefiting from a superb central distribution facility. The new showroom, which offers some 15,000 sqft of display space, is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our full range of tiles, kitchens and bathroom products.”
