The project involved transforming a former office building into a fully functioning SEN (special educational needs) school. Alongside a complete fit out, the brief required a change of use and significant reconfiguration of the building layout. One of the biggest challenges was the relocation of staircases, which demanded complex structural works. In addition, the project had to be delivered against tight time constraints while managing the impact of long lead items.
Our team worked closely with the client and design team to phase works efficiently and minimise programme risk. Early engagement with specialist contractors allowed us to navigate the complex staircase alterations while maintaining structural integrity and compliance. Careful scheduling and proactive supply chain management ensured that critical long lead items were ordered and installed without delaying progress.
Despite the technical and logistical challenges, the project was completed on time and on budget. The result is a high-quality SEN school that meets the needs of staff and students in a safe, supportive and modern environment.
