  • Modular by bay so layouts can switch between teaching, exams or dining.
  • Fully managed service: survey, drawings, installation, inspections, maintenance and de-rig.
  • Site-specific engineering for ground conditions, circulation and access

  • Planning support and guidance with clear drawings for local authority approvals.
“…able to configure a design which met our requirements exactly and fitted perfectly on to the available space, and therefore it does not look out of place. A supreme achievement with very little notice…
