Welcome!


This is our Blog for the proposed new Community Primary School at Coopers Edge, Gloucestershire. This Blog is intended as an opportunity to share information about the design and construction process with everyone who has an interest in this exciting project. We welcome all feedback - both positive and negative, but if you could give supporting reasons to your comments that would really help us!

BREEAM Workshop








Jones King, our M&E consultant for this project carried out an initial BREEAM Workshop which was attended by the whole Project Team.

BREEAM (BRE Environmental Assessment Method) is the leading and most widely used environmental assessment method for buildings. It sets the standard for best practice in sustainable design and has become the de facto measure used to describe a building's environmental performance. 

This initial workshop allowed us to understand how best to achieve a building with genuine sustainability credentials right from the outset, before we have even put pen to paper on a design for the school!

At the moment we are on target for achieving a high end 'Very Good' rating for the school.
