A school conversion in safe hands

– I can’t count the number of times our customers have specifically asked us to use Weland products, and every time we have it’s proved to be the right decision. I’ve only got positive things to say about Weland, both in terms of their products and their attitude to collaboration, says Magnus Olofsson of Eslöv-based Buildab AB.

It was just such a scenario that emerged when the desicion was made to convert Vasavångsskolan High School in Eslöv into a pre- and elementary school. When the building project was awarded to Buildab AB, Weland products were on the list of requirements. In the case of this particular project, the installation of a wheelchair ramp was part of the project.

– Due to the nature of the conversion, it necessitated an update to the evacuation plan and so we made the necessary adaptations in order to bring everything into line with the demands to school building regulations. The wheelchair ramp from Weland both improved accessibility to the school and made getting out of the building a much faster process, says Olofsson.

Seamless collaboration
Buildab AB has completed work on the Vasavångsskolan project and already has several new projects on the go. One of these concerns the park area around Trollsjön lake in the heart of Eslöv. The idea is to create an outdoor stage for events and activities that is accessible to people with disabilities

– When we needed a wheelchair ramp, our first thoughts was Weland. Why go elsewhere when we know they have something that works so well? Their products are robust, deliver on what they promise, and are easy to install. I belive that’s why there are so many Weland products in use locally, he says.

Rapid deliveries
Weland always has a good stock of its standard wheelchair ramp components, which means that customers can quickly receive the items they order. This level of responsiveness is something that is greatly appreciated by both customers and users alike.

– Deliveries arrive when promised and it’s easy to get in touch with Weland if necessary. Dealing with them is a breeze and I can quickly get answers to any questions I might have. It’s an approach to doing business that makes my job so much easier, concludes Olofsson.
