Construction of New Timber Frame Games Pavilion
Project Value: £175,000 | Client: Stover School | Designer: Stratton & Holborow
The works comprised of a new single storey timber framed games pavilion which consisted of 11 shower cubicles, 3 WC’s, 2 large changing/drying rooms, disabled facilities and an office. We had a lot of involvement and pre-contract meetings with the design team and the client prior to being awarded the contract to help ensure the clients requirements were fully understood and met. The result was a high quality and efficient build within a very tight budget and programme. Due to the remote location of the proposed building there was approximately 600m of trenching works required to provide the building with the relevant services it required (foul & storm drainage, electric, gas and water). This trenching works was routed right through the main entrances of the active school environment, which involved well thought-out logistics and direct liaisons with the school to ensure the highest levels of safety for all persons within the surrounding areas.
