Client: Highland Council
Description: Lift installation, extension and refurbishment work
A three phase project incorporating the following:
1. A lift extension and 3rd floor link to existing accommodation. Re-roofing and toilets/ classroom refurbishment.
2. New gym-staff base, janitor's office, platform lift plus pupils foyer refurbishment.
3. DDA ramps and steps access to 6 existing portacabin classrooms.
The project was carried out over 2 1/2 years with two different contractors. Managing the works was a challenge as the work continued during the school term. Detailed consideration had to be given to the school timetable particularly during exam periods when the programme of works had to be adapted as required. Continual liaison between the Depute Head and the Site Agents was essential to ensure the smooth running of the different contracts.
