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.

We have extensive experience of working within a range of sectors.

Supporting the local community 27 Feb 2017

 

Longworth provides sponsorship to Linnets Whites Under 9’s

Longworth believe it is the responsibility of local businesses to give back to their community. This could be in a number of ways from charity fund raising events to offering work experience placements to local students to sponsorship opportunities.

Longworth were contacted by Macaulay Astles, head coach for Linnets Whites Under 9’s football team based in Runcorn. Linnets Whites play in the Halton District Junior League which is a development league with a traditional structured table. This is designed to ensure that the kids learn the fundamentals of team sports as well as the necessary skill and technical ability required for competitive football as they get older. The teams are structured in a 7 v 7 format with 3 substitutes each. From season 2013/14 Under 9’s are not permitted to play in leagues where results are collected or published or winner trophies are presented, this is deemed to be detrimental to the development of the player and the game and will not be sanctioned.

Linnets Whites Under 9’s are part of Standard Chartered club ‘Runcorn Linnets JFC’. They have an Academy for ages 3-11 to encourage children to play football. Runcorn Linnets JFC have over 50 teams for girls and boys with the club expanding all the time. All members involved (coaches, chairman etc.) are all volunteers who dedicate a lot of time to helping the kids develop.

Sponsorship of youth sports

All funds for individual teams have to be raised by the coaches and the players of that team, or donated i.e. by sponsorship. The Linnets Whites were in need of a new kit and equipment for the season ahead and Longworth obliged with a cheque for £500.

Macaulay Astles had this to say about the sponsorship. “I would like to say on behalf of myself, the kids and the parents how grateful we are for the generosity of Longworth and how happy we are with our new kits!”

Longworth are very proud that they are able to help support the development of a local youth football team.
