Focusing on public sector refit and refurbishment works, we will deliver schemes across the education, healthcare, civic, leisure, housing, blue light, highways and infrastructure industries.

We demonstrated relevant experience, stability and a strong commitment to social value and the carbon reduction agenda in order to be successful in its framework bid.

Alongside providing value for money for clients, it was important that we wovided evidence of delivering quality builds on time and to budget, as well as managing the supply chain to a high standard.

We have delivered several projects under the Pagabo suite of frameworks, including the £3.7m extension and remodelling of Cardinal Newman Catholic School and the £6.5m expansion and remodelling of Barr’s Hill School, both for Coventry City Council plus the £2.4m Urgent Treatment Centre for Lincoln Hospital.
