The project was delivered on time, sustainably, and smoothly.
Ensigna Construction delivered a full transformation of Rainbow Nursery in West Wickham, creating a safer, modernised environment for early years education. The £1m project involved the demolition of outdated structures, a new-build extension with piled foundations and a warm flat roof system, and refurbishment of existing areas to align with current standards. Internal works included underfloor heating, M&E upgrades, and reconfiguration of learning spaces. Completed within a live environment, the project was delivered on time and with minimal disruption, offering a high-quality, energy-efficient facility praised by the client for its excellent communication and professional execution.
The Challenges
The project was executed in a live environment, requiring meticulous planning to avoid disrupting ongoing operations. Dust suppression and noise control measures were employed to minimize disturbances. Due to restricted site access, pumped concrete was used for oversite works, and two banksmen coordinated vehicle movements to ensure efficient logistics. Environmental sustainability was prioritized by recycling demolition waste, reusing materials, and enhancing roof insulation from 120mm to 200mm, significantly boosting energy efficiency and aligning the building with modern performance standards.
Results
The project was delivered on time, ensuring the new extension was ready for use as scheduled. It met all specified requirements and compliance standards, resulting in a sustainable, functional, and visually appealing facility. Careful coordination of demolition and construction with operational activities minimized disruption, maintaining a safe and efficient environment for all stakeholders throughout the process.
Ensigna Construction demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise throughout the project. Their ability to manage demolition and construction activities within a live environment ensured minimal disruption to our operations. The quality of the new extension exceeds our expectations, and their proactive communication kept us informed at every stage. We would not hesitate to work with them again.
