FOREST SCHOOL WC CO EDUCATION FACILITIES
Contract Value: £1.2 Million
Duration: 10 Weeks
Location: Reading
Description: Refurbishment of reception area & creation of 4nr changing & shower facilities
Client: The Forest School Academy
We were engaged to undertake the refurbishment of 3nr toilet and shower blocks, construction of a new toilet block and refurbishment of the main reception area.
The works commenced during the school summer holidays and continued through term time when the school was operational to agreed timescales and logistical agreements to ensure that the school could operate as normal and not loose functionality of any key areas.
The project was a difficult project to undertake given that we were working with an existing building that has been adapted over the years and had hidden problems that were identified before works commenced and also during works.
The purpose of the project was so that the school could open up as a multi gender facility. Prior to this it was a boys only school.
The mechanical, drainage and plumbing elements including heat recovery was contractors design and build.
By working closely with our delivery team, suppliers and the client this project was able to be delivered £150,000 under budget. Being a school this is a welcome achievement for them to be able to assign for future works where needed.
