Rapid changes? All part of a day’s work, or two.

This project, to install Comar 5P.i. windows in student dorms at Reading University, was subject to a number of design changes throughout the works. Normally this raises all sorts of problems but having a dedicated project manager who worked directly with the main contractor enabled us to react quickly and help prevent further issues from arising. Our in-house manufacturing services also played a key role in supporting our need to make swift changes. Design changes during a project can take other companies weeks to address but BSF Group can usually turn around changes in a few days, which our clients greatly appreciate. Since working at Reading University, we have gone on to complete more student accommodation in Ealing for the same main contractor, Bennet Construction.
