Grestone Academy | Molloy & Co

Overview

The Project

Molloy & Co Associates was commissioned by Hamstead Hall Academy Trust to provide a range of services relating to remedial work at the Grestone Academy in Birmingham.

The project involved the removal of hazardous asbestos and the replacement of six outdated gas boilers at the site.

Services Provided

We provided the following services:

Funding application: We drafted a comprehensive Condition Improvement Fund application that emphasised the need to remove the asbestos and upgrade the boilers. Our application secured funding of £335,000 to cover the full cost of the project.
Project management: We oversaw all phases of the work from planning to completion. This included coordinating with CPL Service Response, the principal contractor, suppliers and the school. We monitored timelines and budgets to ensure the work was on track and achieved its objectives.
Contract administration: Our management of all documentation ensured everybody involved met their responsibilities – and efficient decision-making throughout the project.
Principal designer: We focused on health and safety to protect workers and school staff.

The Outcome

Removing the asbestos under strict safety protocols delivered a school environment free from hazardous materials.

The six new gas boilers significantly improved the school’s heating system and reduced its energy consumption and bills.

Our project management ensured there was minimal disruption to the school’s activities.

Jordan Molloy’s expert knowledge of health and safety legislation was invaluable to the Trust. His meticulous survey work identified serious risks at Hartshill Academy, and thanks to his clear guidance, we were able to mitigate them quickly and keep the school safely open.

Professional, precise, and reliable, Jordan is a credit to his field.

I can highly recommend Jordan of Molloy & Co. Associates for his work in securing £850,000 in condition improvement funding for the Trust. This funding enabled us to replace buildings infrastructure, ensuring that all our schools continue to meet the necessary safety compliance standards. Jordan and his team demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism throughout the installation project. From initial planning to completion, their meticulous attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the scheme was delivered to an exceptional standard, all while remaining within budget. Their ability to coordinate the works efficiently meant that all schools were ready for the new term, and Jordan kept us informed throughout the process.

After several unsuccessful attempts to secure funding for the replacement of our school boilers and the removal of associated asbestos, Jordan from Molloy & Co Associates succeeded on the first attempt. He not only secured the funding but also managed the entire project, from initial survey to final completion, with outstanding professionalism.

We are extremely pleased with the results and grateful for Jordan’s expertise, attention to detail, and commitment throughout the process.
