Education Fit Out Contractor
Pacy & Wheatley Interiors is a specialist education fit-out Contractor within the Education sector with over 7 years of experience working within the Department of Education. We are proud to have worked with many regions throughout the UK for the Department of Education through several designers and consultants on various projects.
Our projects range from fire prevention projects, where the work involves the supply and installation of new fire doors and fire alarm systems and upgrades to existing ceilings. We have also been involved with complete refurbishment works within many schools, where work has involved removing classrooms, libraries, canteens, and storerooms with full decoration, new lighting, specialist flooring, and workstations. We have now built up a solid and professional working relationship with the consultants who have been engaged on these projects, and this solid working relationship, which has developed over the years, has enabled P&W Interiors to be involved in many consultation meetings to assist with design, cost saving and the programming of projects with the remit being to be more efficient and cost-conscious.
School Refurbishment
At P&W Interiors, we are experts in school refurbishment and carry a positive attitude to work with all parties involved in these projects. Over the last 7 years, we have assisted as best we can from a contractor perspective to try and ensure that all projects we are involved with within the Education sector, regardless of size and duration, are all given the same level of importance to satisfy the requirements of the Department of Education. We have had several challenges over the years regarding late notice of a project being awarded, which has been difficult to deal with. Still, as we always have, we have done our utmost to be proactive in delivering the project/s on time and try to stick to and not exceed the project/s budget.
Working within the Education sector is challenging but ultimately rewarding. We at P&W Interiors are proud of the work we have carried out over the years and wish to continue working within this sector for many years to come.
