Project Completion - Birkbeck Primary School

We are delighted to have now handed over the completed project to Birkbeck Primary school. The expansion works commenced on site in August 2018 and enables the school to increase capacity from a 2 Form Entry (FE) to a 3 FE school.

With the project won via a competitive tender process, a key factor in ensuring the success of the project was the delivery strategy for the works. The construction works on site were delivered in four phases, with extensive site logistics plans and detailed construction programmes produced to ensure the highest levels of safety standards were achieved within the live school environment.

• Installation of temporary parking area.
• Demolition of existing library & erection of new library
• Internal ground & first floor alterations

Phase 2:
