The Challenge

Delivering a package of Fire Risk Assessment alterations across an occupied primary school within a 5-week programme, requiring careful sequencing of trades and strict safeguarding controls throughout.

Our Approach

Clarke Lambert Construction coordinated all trades — stud walling, fire door installation, flooring, ceiling, electrical, and external ramp — in a logical sequence to avoid clashes and maintain safe access for pupils and staff at all times. Bespoke fire-rated doors were measured and ordered at project commencement to ensure they arrived on programme.

Verified Outcome

All FRA alterations completed within the 5-week programme. The school's fire compartmentation and means of escape were fully upgraded in line with the Fire Risk Assessment recommendations, with no disruption to teaching.
