Building services specialist, Kimpton, have completed four projects in the health and education sectors.
"Conducting building works within occupied premises without endangering or inconveniencing its users is a constant challenge facing public organisations," explains Richard Kimpton, Managing Director of Kimpton Building Services "Along with the usual financial implications, organisations face constant difficulties in securing contractors that can meet the complex planning and supervision requirements on a project where the scheme remains in use and Kimpton's track record in this type of scheme is helping secure a growing portfolio of public sector jobs"
