Education: Reinstatement works after fire, Parracombe

Parracombe School, North Devon

This project involved the complete demolition of the existing school buildings whilst maintaining and protecting the structural integrity of the existing Grade 2 listed school hall that the school building was attached to.

The contract demanded a consistently high standard of project management to ensure time scales, build quality and consideration of the surrounding residents and business owner. Due to the positioning of the site being on the edge of Exmoor our strong supply chains were essential for the delivery of the project through the very tough winter months.
