About

Somerset County Council awarded a contract to Abacus Construction Ltd for the refurbishment of the after-school area and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) classrooms at Oaklands Community Primary School in Yeovil.

The project involved remodelling the existing ASD unit, which consisted of two large rooms with breakout spaces and a larger office, as well as remodelling the front of the school to re-provide space for an after-school club in the area previously known as the Cyber Café.

The scope also included the removal of an existing reception desk and pricing for a new reception area for potential future works.

Pick Everard were appointed to undertake the initial design works up to RIBA stage 4, with any further design works to be provided by the successful bidder.

Project management, supervisor, and quantity surveying roles were undertaken by Somerset County Council's internal operations team.

The contract value was £185,249.22.
