Architects working as part of Offsite Construction Contractor's Team.

We have over fifteen years experience working as Architects for an Offsite Construction Contractor delivering Schools, Sixth Form Centres and Academies less traditionally, this method of construction means that we can cut the design and delivery period for a new School by anything from six months to up to one year. This is becoming a more favoured method of delivering educational projects faster and in some cases to a reduced construction budget. (This method of construction also lends itself to Student Accommodation, Healthcare and Commercial Office Construction).
