Premier Inn Wembley
The Premier Inn, Wembley has been designed and built to achieve BREEAM Excellent standards. The £26.5 million development is located within an existing pedestrian boulevard adjacent to Wembley Stadium.
EOS designed, and manufactured Steel Framing Infill Systems, using offsite construction methods which reduced disruption to the surrounding neighbours. The site teams proactively arranged site visits for local construction students, participated in community volunteering days and held DIY workshops for members of the public. The 312-bedroom Premier Inn was extremely quick to build, as the scheme relied on repetition and mass standardisation which enabled EOS to deliver ahead of schedule.

OVERVIEW
The largescale regeneration of Wembley Park and the surrounding areas has been ongoing since the stadium was built in 2007 – wide-ranging schemes and facilities are emerging from the ground around the home of English football. Spearheaded by the developer Quintain – the masterplan sees a £1bn plus investment with a planned 7,000 new homes and the regeneration of the environment through the development of restaurants, leisure facilities and high-quality amenities.
DESIGN AND LAYOUT
To date EOS has secured three major projects within the greater Wembley Park masterplan and has designed and offsite manufactured steel framing systems (SFS) for the 312-bedroom Premier Inn hotel together with two separate mixed use residential and retail developments. Reflecting the area’s heritage whilst embracing modernity – the schemes involved contemporary facades mixing cladding, masonry and cool palettes.
POSITIVE OUTCOMES
The objective for the three individual schemes was to rapidly deliver fully engineered SFS infill solutions to BIM Level 2 – executed with high precision and finish to an outstanding quality. Ahead of schedule and on budget – EOS designed and delivered with precision, highly cost-effective offsite manufactured steel framing systems for different building types across one of the UK’s largest construction sites. Site restriction meant that ‘just in time’ deliveries had to be carefully scheduled, off-loaded immediately and distributed to the relevant locations. EOS’ colour coding systems ensured this was managed efficiently.
