We continue to work with main contractor Berkeley Homes, installing rainscreen cladding to the penthouses at the Bishops Weald development in Horsham. In Maidenhead, we are installing Siberian Larch timber cladding at the Forest Bridge school, working with main contractor Kier Construction.

Projects planned at other schools over the summer feature some of our core disciplines, installing lightweight steel framing (SFS), rainscreen cladding and timber cladding systems.
