Benfield ATT Design & Build for Education

Education Competition Winners...In partnership with a leading firm of European architects - Austin, Smith & Lord' - we won the 2001 National "Flexible Schools" competition for a large local authority in outer London.

After successfully building two trial school blocks in early 2002 to test and develop a prefabricated system of environmentally aware construction for these highly sensitive and demanding needs, a number of further schools have already been completed and several more ordered.



"What a brilliant job!"

Mr Jim Gulliver, Head Master, King Charles 1st High School, Worcester



Copyright System
Our proprietary, copyright system works on the same principles of Benfield ATT's 'Flexi-Lodge' construction method.


CLC Concept

Built in the Holidays
This enables us to provide single and double classroom blocks, which can be supplied and erected in a very short period of time (typically, a twin classroom block can be started and completed during the school summer holiday). This enables classrooms to be used as soon as the new school term begins.


You won't believe the cost either!
We combine advanced design with value for money to provide affordable, highly energy efficient solutions for classrooms, halls, gymnasiums, medical facilities, nursing homes, retirement homes, student apartments, refectory units, sports halls, libraries, village halls, etc.


Fast Track Projects
Our comprehensive approach to providing full design and build, or working closely with your own architects, surveyors, engineers and other professionals, enables us to deliver rapid system build solutions at realistic inclusive costs to:-

  • Provide you with fast, safe and comfortable accommodation in the shortest possible time
  • Solve your temporary planning permission problems once and for all
  • Enable your otherwise inaccessible site areas to be fully utilised (we can put our buildings behind other structures...even without vehicle or crane access!)
  • Take away your worries about getting the job done
  • Start and complete your project without interfering with school term times
  • Offer your institution all the benefits of environmental sustainability
  • Eliminate the complex and demanding administration that eats into your valuable time
  • Deliver your buildings in less than half the time of wet trade, concrete, bricks and blocks methods of building.

We provide full professional services, including feasibility studies, business plans, locating finance, initial design, planning and building regulation approval and other services, to a full cost design and build proposal.
