Birmingham University Secondary and Sixth Form
At Sage, we’re very skilled and experienced in working with schools and education facilities
The Project
Our team are highly experienced in delivering roofing solutions for the education sector so we understand the pressures involved in getting a job finished on time. This is one of the reasons why we like to get involved in a project earlier in the design process so that we can iron out any design issues and potential problems before they affect the site programme. Our experience in working with the roof and cladding elements on jobs such as this one means that we can deliver robust parapet details to our clients.

Achilles Building Confidence is one of the most in depth construction accreditation standards available; and Sage BEC is qualified to level 5 – the highest level of competence available. The service is designed to meet the increasingly demanding legislative and risk management requirements of construction clients.

Sage BEC takes responsibility for the greenhouse gases we cannot avoid emitting by using the Climatecare offset calculator to determine how many tonnes of CO2 we produce in our trading year. To achieve Carbon Neutral status we pay Climatecare to reduce the equivalent amount of CO2 in another part of the world by investing that money into emission reduction projects replacing fuel hungry inefficient technologies with efficient low-carbon technologies in developing countries. Take a look at the Climatecare website to see the advances being made; from the simple provision of efficient cooking stoves to full blown wind and hydro power schemes.
