Sapa adds to Leon Schools new look
Sapa Building Systems' fabricator Hazlemere Windows has added to its portfolio of school projects with a mixed new build and refurbishment project at Leon School in Milton Keynes..
Conscious of the need to preserve the appearance of the buildings the project was subject to careful scrutiny by the local planning department who worked with Sapa's Specification Team and consultants Dearle and Henderson to ensure the design of the new windows was in keeping with the overall building design.
The project to replace the windows of all 273 flats took nine months and involved close co-operation between fabricators, Clivnars, the main contractor, Concrete Repairs , Dearle and Henderson and the local authority's project team to ensure minimal disruption and maximum on-site security and safety throughout the installation programme.
Sapa's success in securing the prestigious Ferdinand Estate project is a reflection of their widely recognised expertise in this specialist market.
A long-established relationship with Camden Council meant that the Council could be confident in Sapa's ability to work with them through the residents' consultation process that is the key to the success of projects of this type and scale.
The need to source and provide suitable samples for planning approval in conjunction with the glass manufacturers Proto Sealed Units was also of paramount importance with the project.
