Kings Norton Girls' School

In September 2024, EvaBuild completed the groundworks on a project to provide a new principal modular building for Kings Norton Girls’ School, working with our Client Pickerings Hire Ltd. Kings Norton Girls’ School, based in Birmingham, required a new modular building to replace a previous modular structure due to a section of the building being condemned.  

EvaBuild began by completing various site investigations including a WAC test, desktop mains utility search, topographic utility survey and plate bearing test. Upon completion, demolition to the existing structure began. 

Following demolition, the foundations were cleared and replaced with new pad foundations and a 75mm stone oversite. 

This project was delivered to a tight timeline, ensuring the majority of works took place during the Summer holidays before students and staff returned to the school. EvaBuild worked closely with our Client Pickerings Hire Ltd throughout the project to ensure timely completion of each stage, allowing us to deliver the project on time and on budget.
