This is a new build primary school in the heart of Bishops Stortford, following high demand in new build properties being built in the area.
Balfour Beatty are currently procuring the next development which will be a secondary school which we have also tendered for. Cousins were awarded the contract after submitting a highly cost-effective proposal, allied with our track record in quality and working to a deadline.
The project consisted of 2 floors of classrooms, group rooms and toilets with a main hall area. The project ran smoothly, and sequencing worked effectively.
Towards the end of the project there was a design change where acoustic panels had to be relocated to a lower height in all the classrooms. This added unplanned works to the programme, but all subcontractors involved reacted positively and the change was accomplished in a timely manner ahead of inspection
The project was a success, the architects had worked on similar specification school developments previously and this met their expectations. The project was delivered on time and within budget.
