A multi-phased planned maintenance and refurbishment project, delivered within a live school environment.
The works were carefully programmed during both holiday and term time periods to maintain safe access for and minimum disruption to pupils and staff.
Key work elements included the strip-out and installation of new heating and hot water systems, installation of energy-efficient LED lighting, complete roof replacement, and fitting of new suspended ceilings. Internal finishes included decoration and new floor coverings, along with a new external access ramp and installation of a stair lift.
On the Newington Primary School project, RH Irving Construction Ltd (RHI) have demonstrated effective management while deploying their experienced, skilled and qualified site delivery team. RHI have consistently demonstrated a good understanding of all aspects of this Dumfries & Galloway Council (DGC) school project, identifying project needs, meeting challenges with the ability to step-up and deal with any concerns. This welcomed collaborative approach throughout the construction process was demonstrated by good relationships between the DGC contract administrative team, but also the school and other stakeholders.
