As well as alteration works to both of Oldbury’s nuclear reactor buildings, the practice was also commissioned to survey all 50 buildings on site and to complete a report on their fire safety.

EDUCATION / LEISURE

We recently completed various refurbishment works at the University College Worcester main foyer & reception building, and in all have been involved in nine projects on the site. At an earlier stage of the education process, we helped to create Brereton House Nursery which is Worcester’s first Montessori pre-school.

RETAIL

In 2001 the practice completed the design and build commission for a new 200-seat restaurant at Star City, Birmingham for Majestic Leisure Ltd. and we are currently looking at other sites for the same client in Manchester. From small alteration works for Visual Impact Computers, to large retail park premises for Warner Sports Ltd., we have provided services for a large number of clients in this sector.
