We are delighted to have completed the expansion of Birkbeck Primary School, Bexley. We worked closely with the school to increase their pupil capacity from a two-form to a three-form entry school.

With the project won via a competitive tender process, a key factor in ensuring the success of the project was the delivery strategy for the works. The construction works on site were delivered in four phases, with extensive site logistics plans and detailed construction programmes produced to ensure the highest levels of safety standards were achieved within the live school environment.
