The Challenge

The school needed the classrooms ready for the start of the September term. With a short summer programme and several items carrying substantial procurement lead times, the project required careful planning of orders, deliveries and the sequence of works.

Our Approach

The project methodology centred on early procurement, a detailed construction programme and close coordination with the council, Rhomco and school management. It set out a phased approach covering site protection, strip-out and preparation, classroom fit-out, and final testing and handover.

The planned fit-out included ceilings, joinery, mechanical and electrical modifications, decoration and associated finishes. Site arrangements addressed controlled access, protection of retained areas and the separation of construction activities from school users where required. Programme reviews and progress updates were planned to help identify risks early and coordinate the different trades.

The Result

The completed classroom photographs show a bright, refreshed teaching environment, with a suspended ceiling, integrated lighting, grey flooring and coordinated wall finishes. The refurbishment provided additional teaching space to support the school’s growing pupil intake.
