WFC undertook a major refurbishment of the Guild of Students’ facilities in 2010. This included providing retail, bar, club, catering and meeting facilities over an 18 month period, working around term times and maintaining a workable provision for the Students at all times.
Andy Stone MCIOB – Senior Project Surveyor at University of Birmingham commented:
“WFC were appointed as principal contractor to complete a major 3 million pound project redevelopment of our iconic Guild of Students ‘Union’ building.
They excelled in delivering a project principally relating to building refurbishment and specialists fit-out works within the constraints of an occupied period building requiring high quality and sensitive construction detailing to satisfy the university design objectives, the local authority planners and building regulation requirements.”
