Clark Contracts - Wins major school contract
Clark Contracts has picked up its biggest
contract ever with the award of a £7.2 million contract by
Renfrewshire Council to refurbish Castlehead High School in Paisley.
The year-long contract starts this month and continues the trend
towards higher value contracts, including the £6 million contract to
build the Astley Ainslie Rehabilitation Unit in Edinburgh for the
NHS last year.
Gordon Cunningham, managing director, Clark Contracts, said, "We
believe that winning a contract of this size underlines our growing
capability to take on and deliver high value projects. It is also
the latest in a series of contracts to build and refurbish school,
college and university buildings which confirms our expanding track
record in the education sector"
Built originally in 1972, Castlehead High School has around 1200
pupils who are being re-located to the former St Cuthberts High
School in nearby Johnstone for the 2007/08 session, to allow the
refurbishment works by Clark Contracts to take place.
The modernisation work at the school includes the complete renewal
of electrical, water and heating systems, complete internal
redecoration and the installation of a new lift and ramps to improve
disabled access.
Also included are new flooring and suspended ceilings, repairs and
replacement of fittings and furniture, window and door repairs and
replacement, external render repairs, alterations to room
configurations and roofing works.
Clark Contracts has worked with Renfrewshire Council for over 20
years on a variety of high profile projects including current work
at a social healthcare facility on Back Sneddon St in Paisley and
Houston Primary School.
Over eighty percent of Clark Contracts' business is repeat business,
something the company believes is influenced heavily by "Customers
1st", its self designed, customer care programme which has helped
the business to more than double in size over the past four years.
