PROJECT DESCRIPTION

New Build Teaching Space comprising of two new classrooms, offices, toilet and plant room.

Works comprised of an insulated raft foundation, full kit design, detailed roof and internal teaching spaces.

KEY CHALLENGES

M&E Design Completion

Value Engineering on the original building from Glulam beams to a fully manufactured kit to save costs and then procuring and erecting the kit withing the required timescales.

ADDED VALUE

Added value here was working within a tight budget and providing cost effective solutions to ensure the project costs were contained. An example of that was revising the
structure design from in situ built to offsite kit fabrication reducing costs.

Using our living environment experience to ensure no disruption to the day to day running of the schools activities.

Completion of the M&E Design from Stage 3 to Stage 4 and manage to keep within budget and indeed, advise on cost savings.
