—
Enjoying an awards ceremony hosted by BBC
Scotland’s Jackie Bird in The Principal Grand
Central Hotel in Glasgow on Friday 26th October,
Avonside Edinburgh were commended for
delivering 6000m2 of slating (including vertical
slating), Single Ply flat roofing, RWG, aluminium
gutters and downpipes, leadwork and PPC
flashings whilst employing local operatives on the
award-winning project.
Our Glasgow and Edinburgh Area Director,
Chris McLean said: “We were delighted to receive
this award in a category renowned for the high
calibre of entrants. The project was technically
challenging with a demanding programme. The
team put in a great deal of effort to deliver a
quality project and we’re very proud of this
accolade.”
The Dalbeattie Learning Campus, which
secured The Construction News Community
engagement project of the Year Award, replaces primary and secondary schools with one single,
Dumfries and Galloway Council’s range of nursey, innovative learning campus.
What’s memorable about the project is the
commitment contractor Graham Construction
had to getting feedback from pupils, with the
majority of students’ suggestions being
incorporated into the project.
One child even asked for a slide to enable
them to leave school at the end of each day by
riding down it…much to the child’s (and no doubt
many teachers’) delight, a slide was installed!
