BENEFITS OF Choosing KES Group
By choosing KES Groups modular building system, Lisanally are significantly benefiting from:
- Little to no disruption to the operations of the school. This is simply because, we have scheduled the production and delivery of the new modular building during the summer months.
- Offsite construction is a significantly quieter method of construction due to the limited time spent onsite, which is critical in this case.
- Offsite construction is a faster method of construction, this is because delays such as weather conditions and COVID-19 restrictions are all eliminated.
- A significant reduction in the number of people at the school premises at one time. With COVID-19 and the new outbreak in variants this is critical for construction workers, teaching staff and pupils.
- A turnkey service; allowing a convenient, stress free service for the staff at Lisanally. On handover, the building will be fully equipped with all required equipment, furniture and technologies required for the teaching staff at Lisanally to get straight into their working day.
