Education
 
We have delivered, over the past 5 years, £10m worth of projects in this important sector.
 
All our education projects confront us to think imaginatively. Although we apply all our considerable skills and knowledge to all projects, the education sector requires greater ability and understanding of construction methods and innovations than any other.
 
We flourish on the challenges set in delivering progressive, education facilities that surpass the desires of a modern, 21st century educational situation. We understand and concur with the aim of our parliament in its drive to supply an exceptional educational environment for us all.

Case Studies
 
New primary and Nursery school, Dalry
Primary school Dalry
Project: New Primary and Nursery School, Dalry
Client: North Ayrshire Council
Value: £8.2m
Architects: North Ayrshire Council
Programme: Ongoing
Procurement: Traditional
Added Value: The school has thoughtfully integrated space to be used by the community, an aspect too often overlooked when developing community and educational projects.

The inclusion of the nursery, although separate but adequately adjacent, is particularly impressive allowing the transition for pre-school to primary school much easier for the children.

We are confident that our part as main contractor will contribute in constructing a building that will provide a safe and secure environment, include all the best modern building practice and will take cognisance of the economical limitations attached to such a public project.
