Emergency Services
We have developed a close working relationships with both Fire & Rescue and Ambulance services, and have been able to provide cost effective construction solutions which meet both project budgets and operational functionality.
We have successfully completed new build, extension and refurbishment projects, which provide modern and efficient; command, office, training and accommodation space.
Much of our work is carried out in ‘live’ facilities, so we jointly develop easily adaptable construction programmes and logistics plans, which minimise any disruption to essential emergency services.
