Stafford contractor wins national award for Extra Care scheme
PLASTERING and dry-lining contractor TC Interiors has walked off with a top national award for its work on a £25m Extra Care village contract in Birmingham.
The Stafford-based firm received the top award at the Federation of Plastering and Drywall Contractors (FPDC) annual awards ceremony in London. The award was in the dry-lining contracts over £1m category.
The award was for TC Interiors’ work on the recently completed Pannel Croft Extra Care Village in Newtown. The development provides 180 one and two-bedroom apartments for over-55s requiring care. The project, by the Extra Care Charitable Trust, is the second of five planned for Birmingham in partnership with the city council.
TC Interiors’ £1.1m, 12-month contract included plastering, suspended ceilings and rendering throughout the homes and facilities.
TC Interiors joint managing director Chris Leonard said: “There were many challenges to this contract and our labour force had to work with complex designs.
“However, they met the challenges and produced work of the highest standard. The contract was delivered in a tight timescale and has won praise from our client, Keepmoat, and also Extra Care, the end user.”
TC Interiors was established in 2000 and is based on Staffordshire Technology Park.
The company has recently completed the contract to finish the interior of the new air traffic control tower at Birmingham Airport and also the airport’s 200 room Travelodge hotel.
