Project Brief

Located in Cwmtwrch, this project focused on the creation of a purpose-built facility designed to accommodate an Early Years setting. The development provides a safe, welcoming and inspiring environment tailored specifically to support young learners at the beginning of their educational journey. Our involvement formed part of the wider construction programme, contributing to a modern educational space that meets current standards while serving the needs of the local community. The building was designed with long-term performance in mind, ensuring it will support pupils and staff for years to come. With it's unique 'splayed' design, this build is a perfect demonstration of how timber frame can be used for atypical builds while maintaining a high level of efficiency and quality. To increase overall safety, a roof casette was created in our factory and dropped on. This greatly reduces the amount of site-time spent on the roof when compared to traditional rafter approaches to minimise hazards. Quality and efficiency is also improved as the roof is able to be constructed in a controlled environment, reducing delays caused by weather and other on-site issues. We were proud to be involved in the construction of a new school building at Ysgol Dyffryn y Glowyr, delivered in partnership with Morganstone, Powys County Council and Heart of Wales Property Services.
