A Design & Build project to renovate an old grade 2 listed Air Force Officers Mess and separate Sports Hall to a new Free School for pupils aged 3 to 16 years. The client had a restricted budget and value engineering was an important part in the delivery of a quality education facility. Taking a concept design and developing it to a workable solution to suit the budget was the significant challenge for this project. Working in a listed building presents challenges and we were able to deliver the project on time and in keeping with the buildings heritage.
