Pre-Construction Advice

Our team can provide valuable product and design advice at any stage of a project. With years of experience and long-standing relationships with product manufacturers, our engineers ensure that projects remain within budget without compromising architectural integrity.

Project Management

We utilise a collaborative project management programme to ensure we deliver projects on time, within budget, and most importantly, safely.

Fabrication

Our in-house fabrication service can deliver a wide range of high quality bespoke roofing and cladding solutions, utilising computerised folding and cutting machinery to ensure a precise and consistent end product.

Design

The latest computerised design systems equip our design team with the ability to provide clients, architects and main contractors with a complete plan for the construction project. For the more intricate designs, we have the facilities to produce a 3D image to assist with the design. All of our designers have been trained up to BIM Level 2.

Planning

For each project we provide a strict planning service. This includes producing detailed plans, method statements and risk assessments. The end result is a structured project following a critical path. We communicate with the client at every step of the way and our contracts manager is assigned to oversee the project, co-ordinating between the client, design, and site teams.

Commercial

We commit ourselves to providing the most economical service available. We are not tied into any one supplier or system which means value engineering is always available. Our partnering mentality is ideal for those who wish us to become involved from an early stage, which can often result in cost reduction of other trades such as steelwork, masonry, etc.

Longworth Building Services awarded £2.1million contract 22 Jan 2016

 

Earlier this month, Longworth Building Services were informed by Laing O’Rourke that they had been successful in their bid for the roofing and cladding aspect for the General Wards of the new Dumfries and Galloway Hospital. The contract is worth an estimated £2,100,000 and is a clear demonstration of the growth and ambition of Longworth Building Services. It’s certain to be an impressive project with some equally impressive statistics to accompany it; Longworth will be using 7,500 square meters of Kingspan IPN Quadcore, one of the first sites in the UK to use Kingspan’s class leading composite panel. 51 tonnes of NedZink, 1,200 square meters of IKO PermaTEC hot melt and 600 meters of membrane lined composite gutters.

Longworth’s success in winning this prestigious contract is thanks partly to their commitment to Social and Community Benefit. Longworth have committed amongst many other things to employee at least 1 graduate, 2 skilled apprentices, 3 New Start employment opportunities and 4 Volunteering Days that involves spending time doing something that will directly benefit the community.

If you are based in Dumfries and Galloway and would like to speak to Longworth Building Services about the employment opportunities available then please get in contact with us: opportunities@longworth-uk.com

The project will start in March and is due to run for approximately 32 weeks. For more information please feel free to contact our Business Development Manager, Ben Parker benparker@longworth-uk.com
