A growing East Midlands brickwork, scaffolding and drywall business has won a £1.2 million contract for a residential development in Birmingham.
Phoenix Brickwork’s scaffolding division, has started work on the contract to supply scaffolding services to the site in Edgbaston.
Within a week of appointment, teams from BMH Scaffolding began installation on the big residential and retail block, to ensure that the full structure would be ready for the next phase.
The scaffolding element is scheduled to take 52 weeks of the overall 138-week build and involves more than 1,000 tonnes of scaffolding with loading bays and stair towers, installed up to 18 storeys high.
Phoenix Brickwork is based near junction 28 of the M1 in the village of Pinxton.
BMH Scaffolding’s site manager Kevin Mee said: “With a project of this size, it’s important to make a fast and efficient start.
“Our expert team of almost two dozen scaffolders is already delivering impressive progress in all areas, to make sure that multiple elevations are ready, in time for the next stages of construction.”
Phoenix Brickworks chairman Christian Watson said: “This is yet another terrific win for BMH Scaffolding, part of the Phoenix Brickwork group of companies, demonstrating the breadth and depth of our offering to main contractors, and our ability to handle ever-larger projects.
“Our growth across the country continues from north to south, despite the challenges of Covid restrictions, and is testament to the quality, expertise and industry knowledge of our workforce.”
He said the business now had a turnover of almost £25 million, and was becoming a key player in the national sub-contracting landscape.
