Staffordshire County Council appoints Actavo to construction framework

Actavo | Building Solutions, the UK’s fastest-growing modular building company*, has been appointed by Staffordshire County Council to its construction project framework.

Strengthening its foothold across the central belt of England, Actavo | Building Solutions will be working with the council for the next three years to provide permanent building requirements, from educational facilities to public sector projects.

Appointed to Lots 4 and 5 of Staffordshire’s construction framework for the provision of major and complex modular construction projects, Actavo will provide a full, turnkey construction solution from a building’s initial design to occupation and may also provide both internal and external refurbishments to existing public sector buildings.

Local authorities across the UK are increasingly challenged by being legally obliged to provide additional facilities – especially educational ones – under a tightening financial regime.

Offsite construction delivers sustainable, cost-effective building solutions, delivered to tighter timeframes which combine to give authorities a high degree of certainty in meeting specific needs.

The design and provision of primary and secondary school buildings will be one of the council’s priorities. Actavo may also provide nursery facilities, sports centres, respite and day care services and public sector settings – including police and fire authority premises – if commissioned, through a case-by-case basis, by other local authorities through the framework.

Matthew Goff, director of UK operations at Actavo | Building Solutions, says: “Many local councils want the speedy delivery, versatility and cost-effective advantages that offsite construction methods lend to any project. Working with Staffordshire County Council over the next three years, we will deliver modular buildings designed with flair that will stand the test of time.

“This is the second local authority framework Actavo | Building Solutions has been appointed to this year. Local authorities recognise modular construction is the way ahead for speed, construction excellence and return on investment.”
