Shepley First School: A seamless electrical and ceiling refurbishment

The client

Shepley First School required a complete upgrade of its electrical infrastructure and a refresh of its interior appearance to improve safety, efficiency, and the learning environment. The school's primary challenge was the need for the work to be completed without disrupting the academic year, requiring a carefully planned and executed strategy.

The challenge

The core challenge was to manage a significant, intrusive refurbishment project within the limited time frame of school summer holidays over two consecutive years.

This required meticulous planning and precise scheduling to ensure all work was completed to the highest standard, within budget, and ready for staff and students to return. The project involved:

Blue icon Phasing complex electrical and ceiling work to fit into tight holiday windows.

Blue icon Coordinating multiple teams to execute tasks efficiently and minimize time on site.

Blue icon Ensuring the new installations met modern safety standards and were fully operational before the school reopened.

The solution

Our team delivered a phased refurbishment plan that strategically utilized two successive school summer holidays, demonstrating expert project management and a commitment to minimizing client disruption. The work included:

Blue icon Comprehensive electrical upgrade: A full refurbishment of the school's electrical installation, including new wiring, sockets, and energy-efficient lighting.

Blue icon Aesthetic and functional improvements: Installation of new suspended ceilings throughout the school. These modern ceilings concealed the new wiring and provided a clean, updated look while also improving acoustics and insulation.

The results

The project was a complete success, with all works finished on schedule before the new school year began. The key outcomes included:

Blue icon Zero operational downtime: The school's daily operations were never interrupted, which was the client's top priority.

Blue icon Enhanced learning environment: The new suspended ceilings created a quieter, more comfortable, and visually appealing space for students and staff.

Blue icon Improved safety and efficiency: A modern, fully compliant electrical system was delivered, providing a safe and efficient power supply for the entire school.

This project stands as a testament to our ability to deliver high-quality, complex refurbishments on time and with minimal disruption to a client's core operations.
