Description

We are delighted to have completed the expansion of Birkbeck Primary School, Bexley. We worked closely with the school to increase their pupil capacity from a two-form to a three-form entry 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.

Phase 1:

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

Phase 2:

• Erection of new two-storey extension
• Kitchen extension and associated facilities
• Landscaping

Phase 3:

• Demolition of remainder of single-storey block and hall corridor, erection of new hall corridor,
• Landscaping to central courtyard & car park
• Conversion of existing ground floor classroom to studio space.
• Erection of link walkway/canopy

Phase 4:

• Alterations to existing ground floor hall
• Internal ground/first floor alterations
• Landscaping to car parking areas to front and side of building
