akp were delighted to have been awarded yet another education project for this client for the alterations and refurbishment of the existing Nursery Department which is located within the Primary School.
The works comprised of:
Downtakings including removal of existing walls and partitions, internal fittings, services etc and external works play areas.
New metal stud internal partitions to revised layouts.
Composite aluminium and timber windows and external doors.
Timber glazed internal doors and screens.
Associated, electrical, mechanical and plumbing installation.
External ramp and entrance stair.
External canopy.
Decoration.
Hard and soft landscaping to redesigned outdoor play area.
Alterations to drainage installations.
Operational Challenges; The works were carried out during term time with the The Nursery Department decanted to an alternative school, as agreed with the Client, for the duration of the works. Communication with the Council and the School Head Teacher was therefore paramount in terms of keeping them up to date of any potential delays and challenges that were uncovered during the works, and solutions that akp could propose to resolve theses challenges.
Community Benefits
We conducted a VIP site tour for the School Council members and pupils to show them behind the scenes of the project and the opportunity to learn and feedback the progress to their classmates.
I want to take the opportunity to thank the akp team. The transformation is fantastic and I’m sure the children, staff and local community will enjoy their new facility for many years.
The Operations and Commercial teams have been excellent throughout and have been very supportive and proactive in their approach. I would like to especially thank Project Manager John for his efforts over the last couple of weeks, which were difficult at times for reasons out with his control, but he pulled a lot of rabbits out of the hat and got us over the line. Yet again, thank you for all your efforts and hopefully I get the opportunity to work with you all again in the near future.
I would like to thank Martin McColl, Mark Smith and the team at akp for delivering the refurbishment at New Aspect House. Blantyre.
Started and completed during a global pandemic, its a project none of us will forget and it was not without it challenges.

Probably my favourite project to have worked on! A great professional team, highly knowledgeable and skilled and with a great sense of pride in what they do. I would highly recommend them.
Another successful project completed and thanks for everyone’s hard work. The setting are delighted with the end product.
School / WLC were extremely appreciative of how John and team carried out works, excellent lines of communication with school throughout. Also, the site housekeeping, co-ordination, health and safety were all excellent.
This is the second time we have used akp for a fit out project in Glasgow, and I would have no hesitation recommending them or using them again.
akp worked well on site and delivered the project as expected. I would have no concerns using your services on subsequent projects.
akp carried out the office fit out diligently and completed on time in what was a very tight timescale.
I cannot have asked for a more helpful and professional approach to the fit out. Programme completion date was forced by lease events and was not only met but at below budget.
