Davis and Barrett - Building Contractors for Education Construction Projects

Education Construction Projects

Below are some of the Education related construction projects we have recently been involved with:

Sidcot School

Completed during the summer of 2008 this £3.8million project with main contractor H.W.Pollard provided a stunning New Arts Centre. This centre is being used by children at Sidcot, but also for exhibitions and art classes. The Centre is an extraordinary resource for Sidcot School, surrounding communities and local schools. This building wraps around the existing structure. Constructed from predominantly steel frame with an internal masonry infill and split face plinth facings with an internal spiral. This was a project Davis & Barrett demonstrated their diversity to achieve a complex design utilizing different materials, stones and lime mortars.

Richard Huish College

Although we enjoy working afar we had the privilege to enhance the local community and develop the educational facilities of our local sixth form college. Here we were part of the team that provided welcomed new facilities which nested naturally into the existing campus. Although this project was on Davis & Barrett’s door step we still met the same restrictions and challenges we have become accustomed to, this allowed us to utilize our proactive approach and actively participate in the site team. With brick facings externally and traditional block work internally, the multi levelled building made an aesthetic addition to the skyline.

Teign New Sports Hall

Davis & Barrett are now have been selected to construct the Masonry works at Teign School which will see the traditionally constructed New Sports Facilities, complete with dance studios, badminton courts & changing facilities opening during this summer. Davis & Barrett are providing the complete Materials, Plant and Labour package to main contractor Mansell, with the large masonry content including bespoke lintels and damp proofing accessories the Management and resources allocated to this project has seen the works nearing completion, on time, on Budget whilst maintaining Safety at all times.

Teignmouth New Sports Hall

In a similar scheme to Teign this building will provide a sports hall incorporating five badminton courts and ancillary accommodation, including a fitness suite and a specialist PE classroom where students can study video analysis as part of the physical education learning. Davis & Barrett’s day to day management and close team coordination will be paramount to the success of this project. With the similar Teign project being completed before Teignmouth commencement it has provided an opportunity to do something that was done well even better.
