CONTRACT VALUE:
£770,000
CONTRACTOR:
J.P. Construction Ltd

DESCRIPTION:

The building is a two storey extension to the school providing extra classrooms and ancillary space to meet its expansion needs. The building has a steel framed structure with concrete/metal deck composite upper floor. 

 

Additional car parking was constructed prior to the main works and the drainage for the site was extended and adapted using SUDS principles. But Architects are hired to solve problems. They have to build a structure that meets a specific function. 

 

How will you put all the component parts together? And of course, it must fit the budget. That is why Architects spend nearly a lifetime of learning. Not only do courses take 4 or 5 years but there are various programs you have to undertake and a licensing exam to hurdle
