Unique Designs

With vaulted ceilings, Velux roof lights and low level windows we can create a light and airy welcoming environment.

Fast to build with minimal disruption

We are used to working around a live school but due to our fast build time we can often complete a project within a school holiday minimising disruption.

Cost management

We will ensure that your project is completed on time and within the budget whilst maintaining functionality and quality throughout.

Bespoke full turn-key service

We will manage the entire building project from design, permissions from local authorities, the complete building right down to coat pegs, external play areas and canopies all finished ready for you to move into.

Aesthetically considerate design

We design your new building to blend within any setting, whether an existing school with a classic period building or a new purpose built development.

Health & Safety

We ensure best practices at all times and are members of CHAS, Construction Line and HCS Safety

We have been working with education authorities across the last three decades to deliver inspirational and motivational buildings that not only fulfil the intended use but also blend in with the existing buildings or natural surroundings.

We will ensure that your building is fully compliant to the latest regulations and delivered on time. We will build to budget while maintaining an outstanding quality with features that create an environment that is calming and welcoming for pupils of all ages.

We can design a bespoke building development that is great value for money and has none of the restrictions or limitations that you can experience with a utilitarian modular or system build. We will be able to specify and use the external materials of your new building to blend in with any setting, whether at an existing school in a classic period building or a new modern purpose-built development.

To make life easier for you, we can take care of every aspect of your development from site inspection through to managing the building process and health & safety, giving you piece of mind and a dedicated full time single point of contact. Therefore omitting the hassle and frustrations that you would potentially be faced with when coordinating multiple professional services / consultants and the various trades on site throughout the project.

Sample Plans

Eastleigh College

Eastleigh College required a new building to house a SEN facility for cookery, woodwork and IT.

Working on a very tight site we designed a bespoke building tailored to their very specific needs. We created the feeling of space with vaulted ceilings throughout featuring acoustic panels to reduce noise reverberation and sound transmission. The building has now been in use for 3 years and is a resounding success with both pupils and teachers enjoying the finished product.

Simon Langton Grammer School

Simon Langton’s Grammar School needed to replace 10 dilapidated mobile units. After consultation with Kent County Council and the head teacher we arrived at the final design using storage cupboards and covered external corridors to limit the sound transmission between classrooms. The teaching facility consists of 12 classrooms (two of which can be linked to form a exam hall), 4 offices, 2 lobby areas, a central courtyard and toilet facilities to compliment those in the main school. Cross ventilation and natural light via roof glazing featured throughout the building eliminating solar gain.

Externally the building was decorated using micro porous paint doubling painting cycles and giving durability for 60 years so long as the maintenance is adhered to (6 year cycle). A man made slate roof covering was chosen to extend the durability and life expectancy of the roof. The original building was assembled in 2003 and is very much still in use today.
